Chapter 469: Should the nematode project be sold?(1/2)
The old lady obviously stayed up all night. Although her face was haggard, her hair was still intact and she looked very clean and tidy.
Maybe this is the difference between male professors and female professors.
Chen Qi was still observing the female professor in front of him, but Kerry couldn't help but speak first:
"Chen, we have determined that the specimen you brought is a brand-new parasite that has never been included in textbooks. Moreover, the digestive organs of this parasite are extremely strong and can swallow more things. It must be harmful to humans.
The harm is also greater. Therefore, your Chinese medical aid team to Africa is very remarkable and has made a great contribution to human disease and health."
Hearing the old lady's praise, Chen Qi was not happy, but felt uneasy.
If you talk to a big shot, if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be a huge turning point.
"but..."
Chen Qi complained wildly in his heart: "Noisy, noisy, what are you afraid of?"
Professor Carey didn't know what Chen Qi was thinking, so he thought to himself and said:
"But, the research on parasites is very complicated and very professional. Please forgive me for my offense. Your Chinese medical aid group in Africa doesn't even know what kind of parasites it is. It shows that you are not professional enough in the field of parasites. Therefore, the research topic of this new nematode is in
Your hands are not appropriate."
Chen Qi knew that what Professor Carey said was reasonable. After all, the discovery of this insect was accidental. The purpose of forming a research team was mainly to help the members kill boring time.
Although it was true that the Chinese Medical Corps was not professional enough in parasite research, Chen Qi heard it a bit harsh.
Who knows it from the beginning? Who hasn’t learned from scratch?
Mayo can do it, and China can do it too. The worst thing is that you can recruit relevant experts after returning to China.
Women's six senses are often more accurate. Kerry saw that Chen Qi's face looked ugly and knew that he was speaking too bluntly.
So he apologized again:
"Chen, I know you will be unconvinced when I say this. I don't mean to offend. I just look at the problem from the perspective of a professional parasite expert. I hope we can study this unknown parasite more thoroughly.<
/p>
Once we have thoroughly researched it, we will know how to prevent and diagnose it, and we may even invent related drugs for this unknown parasite and apply it clinically, so that we can save more people's lives.
Especially for Africans, not everyone is as lucky as the little girl you mentioned yesterday, who happened to meet a surgeon like you and cured him through surgery. If it had been another person, it might have been due to intestinal obstruction.
It hurts to death.
Even if the little girl you cured continues to live in the epidemic area and in an environment full of parasites, then the possibility of her being infected again is very high. If you can save her for a while, you can still save her.
One life? Right?"
Of course Chen Qi understands these principles. He needs to know what this female professor is planning.
"Professor Carey, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that our Mayo Clinic Parasitology Institute can take over this topic and launch a comprehensive study. Of course, since this is the first discovery by Chinese doctors, our institute can also provide you with a fund as a
Compensation, what do you think?"
If it were Chen Qi's personal project, I could definitely agree to her in this situation.
After all, Chen Qi is not a parasite expert, and he has never thought that if he engages in this profession, he can sell it at a good price and return to China to buy a car and a house for personal enjoyment. How great would it be?
However, this issue is a collective one for all the African Medical Assistance Team, and it is the result of the hard work of all the doctors and nurses for more than half a month.
When Chen Qi brought the specimens to Badland, everyone's eyes were full of expectation and hope, hoping that their labor would be recognized and praised by the outside world.
If Chen Qi took it upon himself to sell this project, although everyone would get a huge sum of money equally, it would obviously disappoint more colleagues.
Maybe after returning to China, a big label of "capitulationism" will be slapped on Chen Qi's head.
Chen Qi thought for a while and shook his head slightly:
"Sorry, Professor Carey, I can't promise you, because this topic contains the hopes of 100 of my colleagues. I can't transfer this topic on my own initiative, which will disappoint my compatriots."
As soon as Chen Qi said these words, Professor Carey's eyes showed disappointment, but the smile on his face remained.
"Of course, professors don't have to worry. Although there are no relevant parasite experts in our aid team to Africa, our country still has a lot of parasite experts. I will definitely return to China to ask for their help, and I will not let this kind of unknown
The famous nematode continues to be a health hazard."
Kerry's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Why are you looking far away from the near? You see, the world's best parasite expert is sitting in front of you. Look around you, here is the world's best parasite research institute, and all the conditions are ready.
Chen, since you have dual international directors, your vision should be broad and you should have no ideological bias. Neither do I. Personally, I really hope to get this brand new subject. If you are unwilling to transfer, we can completely cooperate.
Yeah."
"Cooperation? How about cooperation?"
Chen Qi does not exclude cooperation, because cooperation can often be a combination of powerful forces, making the results more solid.
Moreover, by cooperating with top hospitals like Mayo, China can learn more advanced management experience and research techniques. This is a good opportunity that others have never thought of.
Professor Carey felt relieved when he saw Chen Qi's heartbeat.
At the same time, he was secretly proud: Hum, indeed no one can refuse to cooperate with Mayo.
"You and we at Mayo will form a joint research team, and each researcher will contribute half. Of course, in order to express our sincerity, all expenses will be borne by our Mayo Institute of Parasitology. When the results are available, we can jointly sign,
How's it going?"
What else? This is of course a good thing.
All expenses are borne by Mayo, and the results are shared. Is there anything more advantageous than this?
Of course, the Mayo Clinic Parasitology Institute also takes advantage.
Discovering and studying a parasite unknown to humans can also bring great honor to the Mayo Clinic and allow Professor Carey to gain professional recognition from his peers.
It's a win-win.
Since we are talking about conditions, of course we can continue talking. Chen Qi stretched out another finger.
"Ms. Professor, in principle, I can agree to your conditions. This is the best choice for both of us. The only small request is that the Mayo Parasitology Institute can give us 10 training courses.
Quota?"
No matter what era, it is an extremely glorious thing for a doctor to go to the Mayo Clinic, the holy place of medicine.
Similarly, after going to the Mayo Clinic for further training, a doctor's vision will be completely different, and his level will improve rapidly. After all, medicine is a kind of "empirical medicine".
Only by seeing more and learning more can you become as outstanding a talent as a Mayo doctor, so every year countless doctors from all over the world apply to go to Mayo for diagnostic training or internship.
After all, the Mayo Clinic is a big store, and it doesn’t accept everyone from dogs to cats. There are strict assessments and quota restrictions.
For Chen Qi, a "cooperation" is just a full meal. Only by winning a place for further study and cultivating outstanding infectious disease talents in his country can he be full.
After a full meal, everyone knows what they will choose.
When Professor Kairui heard this, she knew what Chen Qi was up to. She was not disgusted because the young doctor in front of her always thought about the interests of the motherland.
Pure people are more likely to be respected.
"Yes, there is no problem with 10 places for further study. And for your sake, I can make the decision and waive all the expenses for further study. However, you still have to pay for the round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation yourself, haha."
Chen Qi stood up excitedly and reached out his hand.
"That's great. We will definitely remember Professor Carey's help for us."
Professor Kerry also held Chen Qi's hand: "We are all for the cause of parasite research, and we will make progress together regardless of national boundaries."
Hehehe~~~~
The cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant, and the specific details still need to be officially discussed. In addition, it will take some time for Professor Carey to form a team and apply for funds.
With this time difference, Chen Qi also had enough reasons to return to China. In name, he was going to inform the country of such good news, but in fact, it was so that he could spend the New Year with his family.
After all, it's just a plane ticket and a thousand dollars. This amount of money is already a drop in the bucket for "Chen Wanwan".
Professor Dewey had just rushed over at this time. When he saw Chen Qi and Kerry smiling brightly, he felt relieved.
Professor Carey actually had a phone call with Professor Dewey last night and proposed the idea of taking over the nematode project in Africa. Professor Dewey was opposed to it at the time.
It is a bit bullying to suddenly take over someone else's research group that has already achieved preliminary results, and it is not very ethical to say it out loud.
As a result, Professor Carey's attitude was very firm and he must talk to Chen Qi, so Professor Dewey was very worried, would the two people break up on bad terms?
After all, one is a classmate and colleague, and the other is a rising star that he is optimistic about.
Now that he saw the harmonious scene between the two parties, he was greatly relieved and at the same time he felt particularly happy.
"Now that you two have agreed on a job, Chen, you have to come with me now. Our plastic surgery department is waiting for you to perform teaching surgeries."
Professor Dewey suddenly slapped his head:
"I almost forgot, Mayo's logistics director is Professor Carey's husband. Don't you need some rubbish, oh no, sorry, second-hand medical equipment? Professor Carey is here, I guarantee you can take away whatever you want.
”
Kerry is such a smart female professor, with an IQ higher than most people. She knew that Dewey deliberately said this in front of her.
"Dewey, you old boys, why are you trying to be clever with me? Chen, you want these second-hand equipment that Mayo has eliminated. No problem. I will call my husband immediately. You are very smart. In fact, these equipment should be well maintained and disassembled. There are many
They can all continue to be used."
