Chapter 468 Options
Peking University’s independent laboratories are mostly accessible to ordinary schools, but the difficulty of obtaining independent laboratories is doubled because there are more talented people.
For example, Tang Ji Laboratory, which Yang Rui affiliated with, was an early provincial laboratory, and is currently pursuing the first batch of national laboratories. Once successful, this is the number of advanced laboratories in the country. Not to mention that most second-tier schools do not have one, first-tier schools with less luck may not apply to the first batch of national laboratories.
Not to mention the annual funding of such laboratories, the real administrative level is a problem that is difficult to solve now.
Professor Wang Yong, who is a little weaker than Tang Ji, has his independent laboratory as well as a provincial and ministerial laboratory. Although he has not applied for the first batch of national laboratories, in terms of current development, it has been happening in the past three to five years.
Even Wang Yong's laboratory can be expanded into an experimental building in a second-tier school.
Even the lower laboratory level will usually obtain certain municipal or departmental names. However, in schools, these most ordinary school-level laboratories are still not something that any professor can get if they think of. Without a paper with an impact factor of 8.0 or above, it is impossible to survive at Peking University.
Papers with impact factor 8.0 are twice as high as "JMC" published by Yang Rui before. Domestic scholars have worked hard for such papers, and some people even made seven or eight years of review, from associate professors to professors, and then worked hard to queue up.
Each researcher wants his own independent laboratory.
Because a laboratory has hundreds of thousands of instruments and equipment, and secondly, there are laboratory preparations, especially fixed experimental funds.
Compared with independent individuals who have to apply for every year, the fixed funding of independent laboratories can at least give researchers a lot of confidence.
When a project is halfway through, no one wants to experience the pain of putting it in the pot without rice.
The most important thing is that having an independent laboratory means having independent authority to sign.
Yang Rui's independent scientific research team is affiliated with Tangji Laboratory, and many of his papers are required to be named Tangji Laboratory.
The paper he wrote in the name of Tang Ji Laboratory, logically, needs to write Tang Ji as the corresponding author, that is, the laboratory boss. It is also because Yang Rui has money that he can retain the right to sign, because he provides funds for himself, so he is his own boss.
If national laboratories in various schools are established in a few years, and with the resources concentrated, it will be even more difficult to have independent laboratories. Not to mention a student like Yang Rui, even professors will encounter various troubles.
"I want to talk about the project I want to do first, right?" Yang Rui touched his chin and had the urge to take out the thermophilic thermophilic polymerase. Of course, it was just such an impulse.
Enjoying all the benefits of PCR is Yang Rui’s established plan.
However, in terms of short-term interests, the independent laboratory of Peking University is also extremely attractive.
Professor Cai nodded slightly and said, "We can give you 30 minutes. You can do whatever you want, but if anyone agrees, this is everyone's decision. It doesn't matter if you can't think of it, just say it."
Those who do scientific research are doing a project in their hands, and must still think of ten or eight projects in their minds.
Creativity is a thing that is naturally precious to success, and those that have not yet been verified should at least have a quantitative advantage.
If Yang Rui said he could not think of it, then it would not make much sense to give him half a month to think about it. For the professors group, this is equivalent to a decision.
Yang Rui could sense the meaning of Professor Cai's words, smiled and said, "I'll think about it for a few minutes first."
"Okay, let's have tea first." Professor Cai greeted with a smile.
Giving Yang Rui an independent laboratory is naturally a compliment. Not to mention anything else, if Yang Rui studies overseas in the future, there is only one thing, basically he can go to any school he wants.
However, whether Yang Rui can support an independent laboratory is another consideration.
Yang Rui also guessed that most of the professors and associate professors who came here mostly had potassium channel projects in their eyes.
Condescending to cooperate with Yang Rui, it is likely to produce papers from a top journal. This is the most driving thing.
In other words, if the new project proposed by Yang Rui cannot reach the level of obtaining top journals, it is likely to be rejected.
Professor Cai’s test is difficult.
However, no matter how difficult it is, it is not only a competition for scientific research.
It is still worth the effort to make an independent laboratory.
The conference room is in full view, and the ground exposed to the sun is full of dazzling spots, which makes people unconsciously confused.
While thinking, Yang Rui thought about the division of Huarui Laboratory and then asked: "Professor Cai, Huarui and I have signed a contract. If I set up an independent laboratory, Peking University and Huarui will probably have to re-sign the contract and divide the authority."
"No problem, I'll ask someone to talk to them." Professor Cai agreed immediately. There may not be much gap between academicians and alternate academicians in terms of academic level, but the social ability is too different. This was originally a social position.
Yang Rui felt relieved and thought about it carefully, but decided to start with the potassium channel.
Because this is equivalent to a two-way selection meeting, trust is the first priority. Why do dozens of professors and associate professors present sit here? First of all, because his paper "Clone Mutation Genes to Analyse the Function of Potassium Channels" is well written, and everyone trusts him to have the most basic academic ability.
It is very common for a scholar to strive for a narrow field throughout his life, but on the contrary, it is rare for a scholar to have a wide range of knowledge.
If 20-year-old Yang Rui wants to win trust, he should choose topics in a successful field.
It’s just that important topics for beautiful words are meaningless. For example, anti-cancer research, everyone knows that it is very important and valuable, but if it were Yang Rui proposed it, no one would follow him.
In addition, unlike what ordinary people imagine, although the "potassium channel" that exists in cells is invisible to the naked eye, it is actually a very complex field. Not to mention Yang Rui's selection of topics, it is only a drop in the bucket for everyone in the entire conference room to participate.
In the next twenty or thirty years, the fields related to potassium channel will also become enthusiastic.
The paper published in "CELL" mainly studies the "function of potassium channels". In parallel with it, there are also "the structure of potassium channels", "the expression characteristics of potassium channel genes", and "the regulation of potassium channel gene expression"...
Just in the "structure of potassium channel", "general structure", "subunit structure", "pore area mechanism", "terminal structure", "auxiliary subunit", "interacting protein", "mink polypeptide", etc. can also be subdivided into the "general structure", "sub-type polypeptide", etc.
In these subdivided parts, such as "subunits", they can generate "expression and function of subunits", "site binding of subunits", "subunits selectivity to subunits", etc.
If you thoroughly study the hair growth part of any subdivided part, it will be enough for a professor from a prestigious university to receive the title of "tenure professor".
However, Yang Rui’s knowledge of the future development of the potassium channel does not mean that these subdivided parts have research foundations at present.
Some research directions may take twenty or thirty years to accumulate to have a corresponding equipment foundation, some directions may require a forward direction to lay the foundation, and some directions may not even have any concepts in the 1980s.
For example, if the "function of the potassium channel" is subdivided, more control genes must be discovered and more gene expression must be found. These must be followed after the papers appear in batches before they can continue.
From this point of view, the value of following the trend papers is also quite valuable.
After thinking about it, Yang Rui finally decided to pull out the interacting protein. The reason is very simple. The protein research is relatively thorough, there is no problem with the previous research, and the research cost will be relatively low.
However, how it aroused the interest of everyone present, especially the associate professors, is another science.
Yang Rui has no interest in jointly establishing an independent laboratory. Can a joint laboratory still be called an independent laboratory?
