Chapter 1008: Experiment Management (Seeking Monthly Pass)
?Yang Rui certainly has reason to be proud. When the embryo segmentation project reaches this level, the information can provide very little information, and experimental management itself has become a scientific issue that cannot be underestimated.
This is easy to understand. Even in 2015, embryo segmentation, freezing, and then transplanting has become common, but many large ranches or large breeding farms at home and abroad still require external technical service companies.
Technology service companies that can do this still account for a minority in the market and make profits exceeding the average.
In the words of Comrade Marx, companies that earn excess profits mean that they are still in a technologically leading state.
However, in 2015, the relevant technical information was actually very complete. However, even if these information were in front of us, some companies still could not make this profit. The reason is very simple. Experimental management itself is a scientific problem. Without proper management and reasonable guidance, any project will be difficult. The mastery of relevant knowledge further deepens the company's confidence in investing.
This is like a small family workshop cannot do the fine work of a large factory. Logically speaking, the average technical level of a small family workshop is actually better than that of a large factory. There are many new employees who have entered the industry in the large factory. However, quality control and reasonable work distribution have made the large factory win.
The atomic bomb requires experimental management, and embryo transfer is also required.
When Yang Rui was studying for graduate school, an important side job for professors and associate professors in the school was to go to the company for guidance. It is called the integration of industry, academia and research, but it is actually the company's technical research and development capabilities. This term is too unreliable, but in fact it is that the company's technical capabilities are too weak and need to provide guidance from experienced scholars, so as to realize the technology that has become a mess.
Of course, Yang Rui's mentors usually go to pharmaceutical factories, because only pharmaceutical factories can afford to pay. As for companies that cannot afford to pay, they either fight for the cost so much that they can't continue to die, or they just play sales and marketing strategies and find some liberal arts students. After all, it is relatively cheap.
With Yang Rui's ability back then, he studied with his mentor for two years, but he did not dare to say that he was capable of achieving management of a project.
In fact, many factories often have ambitions when hiring graduate students. However, if an inexperienced graduate student wants to show his strengths, he often needs the guidance of experienced project managers rather than being an experimental manager on his own.
In the final analysis, the factory itself lacks technical reserves and even lacks understanding of the industry.
However, today Yang Rui can call himself an experiment manager.
Through the data, he can solve the technical problems of frozen embryos and the technical problems of segmenting embryos. However, to realize them and make the frozen embryos and transplant projects work, strict control of experimental elements and as relaxed management as possible for researchers - researchers are not workers, nor are they slaves, they always need a relaxed environment. Although they can tolerate themselves at a certain stage, this need cannot be ignored in mature laboratories and experimental projects.
Yang Rui slowly adapted to this role after a long period of observation and attempt. This is also his favorite role.
Yang Rui knew that his talent was limited. His theoretical accumulation was limited, and his high school was only made up for the past two years, which was at the level of not being able to pull back. His experimental level was also limited, and after a long time of training, he still could not be compared with an experimental genius like Gu Qiang with outstanding talent.
However, Yang Rui was naturally sensitive to the understanding and organization of projects. Once upon a time, he was able to become a gold medal tutor and then started a tutoring school by himself. He did not rely on his super tutoring ability, but on the management of students and even the management of parents.
Yang Rui likes this kind of simple management work, which is not about managing people, but about managing work and projects.
If it is in a scientific research field that he also likes, Yang Rui thinks that this is a satisfying job.
Today in 1985, Yang Rui proved that he was qualified for this job that satisfies him.
Even if you change to a professor-level scholar, you can't do anything better than him.
Not to mention, he has advantages that are beyond the reach of normal people in guiding scientific research directions.
Yang was very satisfied with his current state, so he didn't mind saying a few more words, saying: "The success rate of embryos is divided into four parts and transplantation is about 30%. If it is frozen and transplanted, it will also have a success rate of about 10%. Although it cannot be commercialized, it is still very meaningful in terms of research and development itself."
Director Mei didn't know that in a short time, Yang Rui had already had a good time. He got excited when he heard Yang Rui's answer and asked happily: "What is four-part means, is a piece of embryo divided into four parts?"
Yang Rui nodded: "Yes."
"In this way, if there is a cow embryo, we can get four embryos after we divide it?" Director Mei's excited little breasts fluttered, and said: "I know that this technology seems to be the experimental stage in foreign countries. I heard that it can be divided into 8 embryos after that, which means it is divided into 8 embryos?"
The number of embryos in cattle is limited and has costs. Although super-rowing methods will be used, this is another technical problem and still has its limits.
Therefore, if it can be divided into four parts of embryos or even eight parts of embryos, the commodity value of this technology goes without saying, especially for the current China Animal Husbandry Corporation, it is their need to rapidly increase the population size.
China Animal Husbandry now has thousands of Symental cattle. No matter what technology is used, it will take a lot of time to grow to an order of magnitude, that is, to tens of thousands of cattle, which is no different from tens of thousands of cattle to hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, the early embryo segmentation technology is of great significance to China Animal Husbandry.
On the contrary, after the population size increases, such as when there are millions of Simmental cattle, this technology has little significance.
Yang Rui naturally knew what technology could attract Director Mei's attention, and said calmly: "Theoretically, embryos can be divided into 12, but there has been no reports. It is estimated that it will be difficult to implement, so we don't need to consider it for the time being."
"I understand that there is a loss when dividing the embryo."
"Well, and the more segmentation, the greater the loss. At present, embryo 4 segmentation is also a technology in the laboratory, with a relatively low success rate. In reality, it does not have actual value."
"Not practical value?" Director Mei was itchy.
Yang Rui smiled and said, "You are repeating my words."
"Oh, sorry, why doesn't it have practical value? It means that it will take a while to develop this technology?"
"In theory, I don't know how long it will take." Yang Rui was fooling investors at this time. Judging from later information, the technology of embryo segmentation basically has no commercial significance.
This is not only because of the low success rate of embryo quadrilateral, but also because of the high operating requirements, which limits the threshold for marketization. Also, the embryo segmentation technology is used to divide half embryos, and the operation is almost done when the technology is mature. The lower success rate is within the tolerance range.
However, embryo quadruplement cannot be separated. Its high technical requirements are required to operate with highly skilled veterinarians, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
High-tech talents are scarce products everywhere. Even in a country like Switzerland and Denmark, which has a large accumulation of animal husbandry talents, veterinarians with superb skills are still scarce products. If they are allowed to do four-part embryos, the cost will not be increased by a little. The profits brought by two-part to four-partial are not enough to make up for the technical cost.
In terms of application, embryo quadruple segmentation technology, or stronger eight-partition technology, is only suitable for high-value creatures, such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, or Japanese Wagyu beef, Doraemon, African rhino, etc. However, embryo transfer of different creatures requires further research, which is equivalent to transplanting a game from a PC platform to a PS platform. The dilemma of lack of experimental animals has formed a new contradiction.
In short, embryo quarternization is a beautiful concept, but it is a technology that has not been realized until the 21st century.
At this time, Yang Rui just took it out and swayed half a bucket of water.
Officials like Director Mei who knows some skills immediately fell into the trap and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Is the funds you have found now enough to achieve embryo quadruple division?" Director Mei is a traditional Chinese. He is not very good at expressing his feelings. He neither says "I love you" nor says "I am proud of you". He held it in a long time, and the meaning of what he said is ultimately a sentence "Do you still want money?"
Yang Rui smiled shyly and said, "The current funds may not be able to make the embryos in four parts."
"How much money do you expect to need?"
"I think we should complete the current project first and put it into use, and then consider embryo quadratic division." Although Yang Rui's laboratory has more funds, the more it is better to cultivate excellent donors, and the laboratory leader needs to consider. You have to make the donors happy, otherwise, will this cash river stop flowing?
Director Mei only felt that Yang Rui was skilled and did not speak loudly. He gave a thumbs up and said, "You are good at speaking, and you should focus on the projects in front of you."
"The Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory will still invest funds to basic research and cutting-edge research." Yang Rui glanced at Director Mei and said, "Although I said it before, I still have to repeat it now..."
"Don't interfere or not." Director Mei waved his hands repeatedly. This time, his expression was happy. After all, he had already improved from a mouse to a rabbit. Is it still far from a cow?
Director Mei stood in the laboratory, imagining the future, the more she thought about it, the more she felt.
"Xiaomei, has the cow in the family given up? So happy." A somewhat familiar and unfamiliar voice penetrated into Director Mei's ears.
Director Mei turned around suddenly, and his eyes flashed with a flash of lightning.
"It's you?"
"It's me." A figure pulled a long track on the ground of the old warehouse.
