Professor Zhao gave up his treatment in America to return home, mainly because the conditions here were much better. He never expected that the real boss would be so young.
Moreover, in addition to having such a top-level drug research laboratory in the country, there are labs abroad as well.
For fields like engineering, biology, and pharmacology, Helenburg University in Germany is world-class.
If that is indeed the case, then this young man is certainly not simple.
"Boss, do you know the direction of the first drug we are researching?" Professor Zhao asked.
Ye Qiu invested so much money; it’s definitely for earning profit.
And earning money requires a research direction.
Like drugs that treat cancer, diabetes, gout, etc.
These require significant investment to research.
The reason those pharmaceutical companies abroad have so many achievements is due to significant investments and a lot of time researching.
"Hepatitis virus."
Currently, more than a hundred million, possibly even two hundred million, people carry the Hepatitis B virus or have Hepatitis B in the country.
This Hepatitis B is not a deadly disease, but it does affect life.
In severe cases, it can develop into positive and negative hepatitis B antigens, hepatic ascites, liver cancer, etc.
However, there are no particularly good drugs on the market right now, or rather, no drugs that can directly cure the disease for patients.
Ye Qiu had studied this disease long ago.
Although he can very easily cure it himself.
But such a large population can’t rely on him alone; drugs are needed for treatment.
Hepatitis B virus?
Professor Zhao did not expect Ye Qiu to focus on this.
This patient population is indeed very large, he had researched it before.
There are many ways it spreads, including heredity.
"Boss, are you sure you want to research this?"
"Yes."
"Alright, we will preliminarily research drugs for this virus."
This hepatitis B virus has been studied in The East Ocean and Europe and America.
Currently, some domestic patients also purchase drugs from The East Ocean and Europe and America, but the prices are quite high, and long-term use is a burden.
"I can provide you with the hepatitis B virus."
Ye Qiu can provide it?
Isn’t it usually acquired from patients?
"Boss, is it obtained from these patients?"
"No."
Ye Qiu can directly obtain it himself.
Besides the Hepatitis B virus, he can obtain all kinds of viruses as long as he has absorbed them.
"I’ll give you six months to develop the most effective antiviral drug product for Hepatitis B."
Six months?
That’s too fast.
But Professor Zhao didn’t say anything.
After Ye Qiu released the hepatitis B virus directly at the laboratory’s culture dishes, Professor Zhao and his team couldn’t believe where these viruses came from.
The Hepatitis B virus is the pathogen that causes Hepatitis B, belonging to the family of hepatotropic DNA viruses. This family includes the genus of orthohepadnavirus, which infects humans.
Under an electron microscope, the Hepatitis B virus has three forms of particle structures: large spherical particles with a diameter of about 42 nm, small spherical particles with a diameter of about 22 nm, and tubular particles.
The large spherical particles (Dane particles) are complete viral particles, composed of an envelope and a nucleocapsid. The envelope contains HBsAg, glycoproteins, and cell fats, and the core particle contains core Protein (HBcAg), circular double-stranded HBV-DNA, and HBV-DNA polymerase, which is the viral form that is infective.
Small spherical particles and tubular particles are both composed of the same lipoproteins as the virus envelope. The former mainly forms hollow particles by HBsAg, not containing DNA and DNA polymerase, and are non-infectious; the latter are formed by the aggregation of small spherical particles and have the same composition as the small spherical particles.
"Six months, if there are no results, then we’ll have to replace the team."
Ye Qiu stated directly.
If he were to research it himself, a decent drug could be developed within at most half a month.
"Boss, rest assured, we will do our best."
They don’t know where the hepatitis B virus on those culture dishes came from, but it’s present in the laboratory now.
They can start researching today.
When Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting, dressed in lab coats, left the laboratory, Zhou Wenting knew that these viruses were definitely brought by Ye Qiu.
However, how he brought them, she was unclear.
Still, Ye Qiu saying there should be results in six months is quite fast.
"Isn’t it too fast?" Zhou Wenting asked.
"If it were me, it would take at most half a month to produce results."
Previously, when Ye Qiu went to the epidemic-stricken area, he really developed effective antiviral drugs in half a month, and for the Hepatitis B virus, it would be similar.
First, understanding the virus structure clearly, and then finding out how to kill or inhibit this virus is needed, which takes time.
With so much talent available, such good labs, and those lab instruments in place, if they can’t produce results, then they’re not needed.
"I need to see how they conduct their research first. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll directly recruit talent from abroad."
Compared to domestic talent, Ye Qiu has more trust in foreign talent because until now, there are very few news reports in this area domestically.
In contrast, most reports are about pharmaceutical companies counterfeiting drugs from other countries.
Therefore, regarding this point, Ye Qiu has a poor impression; he is puzzled as to where all the domestic research talent has gone.
"Their capabilities should be feasible, Professor Zhao was originally a professor at Yale Medical School, and the talents he picked should have a solid base."
"I’ll leave this to you."
The antiviral drug laboratory matters are certainly not Ye Qiu’s responsibility; he’d definitely leave them to Zhou Wenting.
He only needs to look at the results.
Now, as he prepared to leave here and head back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
Zhou Wenting stayed here.
As Ye Qiu drove away from the antiviral drug research laboratory, many reporters came to interview the situation here in the country.
Ye Qiu returned to Peach Blossom Spring Villa, and Xiaomai was at home alone.
Xiaomai thought Ye Qiu had gone back to school, unexpectedly he returned so quickly.
"Ye Qiu, where did you just go?"
"Jiangbei."
Ye Qiu went upstairs to his room to continue playing games.
Meanwhile, in the country, more graduate, doctoral students, and even professors in medical pharmacological research saw the news and began to have ideas of seeking employment in Jinling.
However, the more people there are, the more competitive it becomes.
