Chapter 549: Each with their own thoughts
That evening in the lab, Du Kai and Zhao Qingqing reported the day's events to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin glanced at the people's information and nodded: "Very good, they all seem to have real skills. Thank you for your hard work!"
The two smiled and shook their heads: "It's not hard work! It's what we should do."
The next day, at the same time, when Gu Yin arrived at the conference room, some people were already seated inside.
Gu Yin counted them and found there were fewer than 25, so she waited a little longer.
Then more people came one after another.
Half an hour later, Gu Yin glanced at her watch, then looked at the people below and said seriously, "The people behind aren't waiting anymore, and they probably won't be coming back. Let's begin. You've all basically learned what you need to know yesterday, so I'll just give a brief overview. The topic is: Cell Regeneration and Precision Targeting. I don't need to explain what targeted drugs are; everyone knows. Cell regeneration is also something everyone knows, but these two things aren't very useful in mid-to-late stage patients' data, as you all probably know. My research aims to develop targeted drugs that can precisely locate tumor cells while rapidly generating new immune cells, instead of the patient having to wait for the tumor cells to disappear before slowly growing useful cells. Current drugs and chemotherapy often fail before the tumor cells are completely eliminated, leading to either metastasis or the growth of new tumor cells. What I want is to eliminate tumor cells while simultaneously promoting the rapid growth of immune cells."
"That's impossible! Targeted drugs destroy cells! Not to mention the growth of new ones! If there were no toxic side effects, the patient's chances of survival or the length of their life would be much greater! Your idea is simply wishful thinking!" a professor retorted with a frown.
The others below nodded in agreement.
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "Yes, what might be a pipe dream for others is something I can think about. I have already made some basic progress in the field of cell regeneration. As long as I develop the targeted drugs I need, I have a plan on how to integrate them, how to prevent them from rejecting each other, and how to divide their tasks. So, who among you would like to join my team?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd below immediately became lively again.
Some people were tempted, some wanted Gu Yin to show the results before they said anything, and some still didn't believe it.
Gu Yin didn't speak again. Regarding the immune cells, the nutritional supplements she used when treating Wu Ye were enough to solve the problem. As for the targeted drugs, she had a basic idea last night in the system library. If this experimental project wasn't so large, she could have done it all by herself! But there were too many trivial matters, and it really wouldn't work without a team.
Seeing that the people below were still discussing, Gu Yin tapped the table: "My team doesn't need many people, just 5. Whoever has thought it through, sign up first."
The people below were quiet for a moment, then looked at each other, and no one stepped forward.
Gu Yin frowned, glanced at the time, and thought that since there was no one available, she would go outside to recruit people. If all else failed, she could do it herself. However, an experiment that originally took a year to produce results might take two years.
Just as Gu Yin was about to say let's call it a day, a girl wearing glasses walked up and said, "I'm a doctoral student at the medical school, and I want to register."
Zhao Qingqing's eyes lit up; this was the person who had asked the question yesterday!
Gu Yin handed her the autograph book, and saw that she had written the word 'warmth' on it.
Gu Yin recalled Wen Xin's information: a doctoral student at the medical school, graduating next year, planning to stay at the university, with no connections and excellent grades.
Gu Yin smiled at her and extended her hand: "Welcome to the team."
Wenxin nodded and reached out. Besides wanting to do experiments, she still wanted to give it her all. Staying at the university was just a last resort for her. Entering the Chinese Academy of Sciences was her dream. Unfortunately, she had no goal. Joining Gu Yin's team meant that the worst that could happen was that the experiment would fail, but at least she would be able to get into a circle that an ordinary person like her could never access!
After Wenxin left, a middle-aged man came up.
Fang Chongmin, a professor and mentor at the medical school, is obsessed with experiments and has been researching drugs for liver disease, but so far he has made no progress.
Gu Yin guessed that he probably joined to find inspiration, but that didn't matter, as long as he was obedient and knew how to work!
Then another young man came up. His name was Zhang Chengming. He had a master's degree in biomedical science. He didn't get his undergraduate degree from Qingdao University, but he got into Qingdao University for his master's degree. For prestigious universities like this, research institutes generally don't hire people who didn't get their undergraduate degree unless they are exceptionally talented. Otherwise, companies in society also value undergraduate degrees.
Zhang Chengming is Gu Yin's senior, and he has been working hard to get into Cheng Dong's lab! Gu Yin has also heard of him; in short, he's very dedicated.
After that, no one else signed up.
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "Is no one else here? If no one else is here, let's adjourn the meeting here. Thank you all for coming! You've all worked hard!"
After everyone else left, Du Kai asked worriedly, "Boss, we're still short two people. Should we continue recruiting tomorrow?"
Gu Yin waved her hand: "Aren't there still the two of you? Five is enough!"
Du Kai and Zhao Qingqing stared wide-eyed!
"Can we really do this?!"
Gu Yin nodded: "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Alright, go back and help the new colleague get the pass. It takes at least several days to get this thing done! Hurry up."
The two nodded excitedly and immediately went to prepare.
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at Wen Xin and the other two and smiled, "I understand why you signed up. Before my project is finished, I hope you will abide by the rules and regulations and do your jobs well. After the project is finished, if you still want to leave my team, I have no objection. You can leave first. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
All three of them felt a little embarrassed.
As a senior student, Zhang Chengming felt a sense of kinship with his junior student as his supervisor, so he asked the question he wanted to ask: "Boss, are we doing experiments in Professor Cheng's lab? Will we see Professor Cheng then?!"
Wen Xin, standing beside her, also looked at Gu Yin with bright eyes.
Upon hearing this, Fang Chongmin also perked up.
Gu Yin nodded: "I forgot to tell you, the teacher's lab currently has two heads, the teacher and me. So, if you join my team and your identities are all in order, you will become members of the lab after the review, but not in the teacher's team."
Zhang Chengming nodded quickly: "That's enough! Don't worry, boss! I will definitely work hard! I will not slack off!"
He was originally a student at a second-tier university, but through hard work, he was admitted to Qingdao University's graduate program. However, his resume was actually quite limited after graduation; he was in a situation where he dared not ask for anything less than what he could afford. Being able to enter Professor Cheng's lab, regardless of whether his junior's project succeeded or not, meant he would definitely learn a lot! It would also be a significant advantage for him! His future would be limitless! As long as he worked hard, he believed his junior's opinion of him wouldn't be too bad!
Wen Xin was also very excited; she and Zhang Chengming shared similar feelings!
Fang Chongmin smiled. Those who could get into Chengdong's lab were all outstanding people, referring to their achievements. If he didn't understand something later, he could just grab anyone in there and get some pointers, and his experiments would definitely not stagnate!
"We will work hard and be serious, don't worry!" Fang Chongmin and Wen Xin replied.
Gu Yin nodded, telling them to go back and arrange their personal matters, and then wait for further notice.
