Chapter 622: Chapter 357: They are all newcomers, and we are full of confidence!
Director’s office.
Yan Xuelin was looking at the latest media news, searching for keywords such as ’International AIDS Prevention Conference’, ’Zhao Yi Laboratory’, ’Biomedical Research Institute’, ’Vif Virulence Gene’, and so on.
At the International AIDS Prevention Conference held in Hamburg, Country D yesterday, the Biomedical Research Institute made a big splash by presenting the most valuable research report, revealing the structure of the AIDS virus virulence gene Vif and using animation to simulate the detailed process of the Vif gene hijacking proteins.
Although only a day had passed, there were already many news reports about it.
Groundbreaking achievements in domestic medical research are certainly newsworthy, and the media naturally seized the opportunity. Many reports highly praised the research, as it came from Zhao Yi’s lab, and many people discussed how ’Zhao Yi began to show his prowess in the field of medical research’.
The well-known online media "Global News in Progress" posted a report and commented, "The study of the Vif virulence gene provides important theoretical support for the development of AIDS drugs, making a significant contribution to the world’s AIDS prevention."
It also said, "The main person in charge of the research is Zhao Yi, the world-famous mathematician. He has started to achieve world-class results in the field of medical research as well. With his age and talent, we look forward to his future accomplishments."
While commenting on the news, the media also highlighted the Biomedical Research Institute, saying that Yanhua University’s Biomedical Research Institute is the top medical research institution in the country, with internationally competitive scientific research capabilities and achievements, producing numerous significant medical research outcomes.
Both domestically and internationally, the Biomedical Research Institute has considerable influence in the field of medical research.
And so on.
Reading the online reports, Yan Xuelin felt delighted and looked forward even more to the official media coverage.
Official media coverage tends to be slower, as they must verify the accuracy of the news, assess the impact of the achievement, and then report accordingly, since official media coverage carries significant influence and must be handled with extreme caution.
As Yan Xuelin was carefully reading the reports, his office phone suddenly rang. He picked it up immediately and pressed the answer key, only to hear the voice on the other end saying, "Director Yan?"
"It’s Zhao Yi!"
Yan Xuelin enthusiastically said, "I saw the media reports, and Ai Lixin did very well at the conference. I was worried that he might not have the experience, but he didn’t show any signs of stage fright. Your lab’s achievements were well received at the international conference..."
He went on and on.
Zhao Yi had no interest in discussing their ’past’ research achievements and hurriedly interrupted during a lull, "Director, we’ve made a major discovery in our research. Please apply for confidential support from higher-ups as soon as possible."
"A major discovery? Confidential support is needed?"
"Yes." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"What kind of major discovery? Bigger than last time’s... Never mind, I’ll come over."
Yan Xuelin was slightly dumbfounded. He was still reveling in the presentation of their achievements and media coverage and was caught off guard when the topic of ’research confidentiality support’ came up. What kind of discovery would require confidential support?
Applying for confidential support in research institutions is a very serious matter.
If a breakthrough is made in some research, one can apply for confidential support from higher-ups, similar to a civilian calling 110 in case of emergency. The higher-ups will prioritize it as the most significant issue.
Yan Xuelin rushed to Zhao Yi’s lab, where Zhao Yi quietly discussed their latest discovery, "We found a protein that has a significant anti-infection effect."
"Protein? Anti-infection? How is this a major..."
"Anti-AIDS..."
Before Zhao Yi could finish speaking, Yan Xuelin immediately realized the implications and excitedly said, "Alright, I’ll arrange it right away. Support should arrive within the hour."
He dashed out of the room.
Although Zhao Yi only mentioned a few words, as director of the Biomedical Research Institute, Yan Xuelin understood the significance of an anti-infection discovery related to AIDS. Even a small discovery in this area would require considerable attention.
Last time, Zhao Yi’s lab’s research on virulence genes had already reached the level of ’confidential support,’ but they didn’t apply for it because the research took a long time.
This latest finding might be even more important than their previous research, but like before, it could also turn out to be a false discovery. That’s how scientific research works: if there’s a chance it could be a significant breakthrough, it must be taken seriously. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Zhao Yi, on the other hand, was very certain that the discovery was of great importance.
The 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule is a byproduct of immune system-synthesized antibodies against bacillus proteins and is considered to have no value, merely being an accompanying ’waste’ of immune production. After being produced, it will be dissolved in the blood in a short amount of time.
Such a seemingly useless protein ’waste’ product actually has an anti-AIDS infection effect, and even in experimental processes, abnormalities could be detected through data analysis. This discovery undoubtedly warrants significant attention.
It’s because of the low concentration!
When the concentration is very low, it already demonstrates anti-AIDS characteristics. One can only imagine how much more evident the anti-infection effect would be with higher concentrations.
The second aspect is its unique quality.
The fact that the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule can be dissolved by human blood is an excellent quality.
