Chapter 628: Chapter 360 The Effect of 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule

As a group of people emerged from the conference room, Dai Tianqing’s face was as dark as a lump of coal. He moved along in the middle of the pack, occasionally glancing ahead and muttering a few words under his breath.

"Old hag", "menopausal", "pretentious"...

Anyhow, they were not kind words.

Li Ming was trailing behind Dai Tianqing, patting his back as if trying to offer some sympathy.

Of course.

Everyone from the ’research group’ felt the same, it was just that Dai Tianqing was the only one who had lost face on the spot.

Dai Tianqing’s eyes were full of resentment as he whispered, "I should have let you talk."

"Fortunately, I did not."

Li Ming said, "I said before that we should compare results with them, but you insisted on presenting the research as it is."

"I shouldn’t?"

Dai Tianqing started, then sighed and looked up to find Han Hui and Zhang Wei walking together, seemingly enjoying their conversation.

At the end of the day, he was the only one who was embarrassed.

"Sigh!"

He sighed.

Shen Xi also looked somewhat flustered, she thought Dai Tianqing was preparing a report to hide something. She regretted her flippant comment earlier which now replayed in her mind. Facing Dai Tianqing had since become rather uncomfortable.

As a member of the expert review committee, an apology from her was impossible. After all, she was just stating facts, even if they were embarrassing.

Everyone else didn’t dwell on it excessively.

Yan Xuelin was embarrassed for the ’researcher group’. He had hoped for quick progress from the group, but they simply couldn’t compare to Zhao Yi’s lab. In his mind, the matter had concluded.

On the other hand, the rest of the expert review team found the whole thing rather entertaining. Zhu Hong even gave Dai Tianqing a thumbs-up, not to mock him, but to appreciate his awkwardness that managed to bring a smile to Shen Xi’s face. Zhu Hong had never seen her laugh before.

The expert group’s review was not limited to just listening to a report.

After leaving the conference room, they did not immediately enter the lab to review the experimental data and various procedures, and so on.

This is where Zhang Zhilong came into play.

Zhang Zhilong, the director of the National Medical Science Academy, has been engaged in medical research for twenty years and is very familiar with such processes. Upon taking a look at the laboratory and research reports, he could readily make an overall assessment and identify any problems.

The expert review group first visited Zhao Yi’s lab and then moved to the central lab.

Zhang Zhilong reviewed the ’researcher group’s’ experiments and even praised them specifically, "Your research is very meticulous!"

This was contrasted with Zhao Yi’s lab.

On hearing the word ’meticulous’, Dai Tianqing finally managed to regain some of his composure and even forced a smile, "Thank you, our primary principle of research is to design meticulous experiments to minimize the possibility of errors."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The people at Zhao Yi’s lab didn’t argue, even Zhao Yi agreed. The current progress of the research undeniably depended on Zhao Yi’s quick conclusions and his lab’s capabilities, which did show a gap compared with the ’researcher group’.

Dai Tianqing, Li Ming and others were experienced researchers. Their experiment designs were more painstaking and meticulous and they had a better professional grip on aspects such as inspections, data analysis, and deductions of results.

The review was over.

The four members of the expert review committee, along with Zhao Yi, Yan Xuelin, and Dai Tianqing, held a short discussion in a conference room and quickly came to several conclusions.

One was regarding research support.

A funding of 3 million RMB was allocated to the research on 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule AIDS inhibitors, raising it to the highest level, with all future requests getting green-lighted.

The second pertained to confidentiality.

All involved employees had to sign a higher-level confidentiality agreement.

Anyone signing the confidentiality agreement would receive compensation. The standard amount was Twenty thousand RMB. Given the importance of the research, this was merely a token gesture.

The rest was unrelated to the institute for the time being.

For instance, the expert group would submit a review report and recommend collaborating with national pharmaceutical research departments, paving the way for drug development.

This would be advantageous for the research personnel and the project itself.

While the research didn’t involve pharmaceutical technology and couldn’t yield patent royalties, large sums of prize money would certainly be awarded later. Both the research institute and the lab would benefit, securing huge amounts of research funding.

Yan Xuelin even promised, "Once the project is completed, we shall upgrade our equipment, perhaps even apply to build an Experimental Medical Center on the adjacent vacant land." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

This had been a long-held aspiration of the institute.

The Biomedical Research Institute was an independent research entity. Its biggest issue was the lack of continuity. Postgraduates and doctoral students conducting research under their mentors struggled to adjust to routine work after graduation.

Moreover, the Biomedical Research Institute was too ’independent’. A lot of its data and resources were supplied by partner hospitals. In order to attract more talent and achieve higher quality results, a ’medical center’ would be beneficial to enable data-sharing and establish synergy between hospital and research data, and more.

In a nutshell, it lacked an accompanying medical and academic facility.

...

When the expert review team had left, the research continued.

Yan Xuelin didn’t organize any meetings, rather he had a quiet word with Zhao Yi implying a suggestion to merge both research groups, virtually scrapping the division.
