Anyone who has something to do with medicine has heard of the journal "The Lancet". Not to mention those who study medicine, even some patients who have become doctors for a long time have heard of it, and have even read the articles above, or read translations and comments.

This time, Luo Sheng’s Life Science Foundation announced that it would spend huge sums of money to build 11 top research centers or laboratories around the world, 4 of which are the forefront of the medical field, and also include a top p4 laboratory.

No wonder "The Lancet" pays so much attention, because the Life Science Fund is so rich, with a huge sum of $18 billion being used in the life sciences field. Such a strong amount of funds even the National Natural Science Foundation does not spend so much money on one field.

There is a huge difference between natural science and life science. Life science is part of natural science, but natural science involves basic research in many disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and new materials. It can be seen that the funds for real division into the life science field are also very short of money.

But all the funds of Luo Sheng’s life science fund are focused on one field. If so much money is spent, it will be abnormal for the entire academic community to not cause a sensation.

It costs money to engage in scientific research and research in cutting-edge fields. A top laboratory can cost hundreds of millions of dollars in investment costs, and the conversion of commercial results is not ideal, so capital is rarely interested in this, and basically allocated by state funds.

However, there are too many places for national fiscal expenditures. Many researches are forced to stay on paper due to insufficient funding, which is a helpless place for many research scholars.

The Life Science Foundation announced that it would build 11 R&D centers, and half of them did not clarify which specific research they should focus on. This made scientists at home and abroad in the field of life sciences excited and wanted to get the Life Science Foundation to support their research.

Capital, Qinghua University.

"Teacher, what are you doing with me?" A young intellectual beauty entered Shi Yigong's office. Her name was Yang Ning. She became the youngest female doctoral supervisor at Qinghua University at the age of 30. She was one of the best biologists in China and also Professor Shi Yigong's most proud female disciple.

Yang Ning is known as the "Academic Goddess". He has a keen eye in the field of biology and has now begun to gradually emerge internationally.

Mr. Shi Yi put down his work and looked at his most proud female disciple with a smile: "Xiao Ning, do you know that Luo Sheng, the richest man in the world, has recently established a life science fund?"

Yang Ning: "I know, the academic community has caused a sensation."

Mr. Shi Yi couldn't help but smile: "Even people like you who stay in the laboratory all day long and are obsessed with research. It seems that they have received a huge response in the industry."

Yang Ning looked at his teacher in confusion: "What does this have to do with you calling me over?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shi Yi took out two letters from the drawer of his desk and pushed them in the direction of Yang Ning. The latter stared at the two letters on the desktop curiously: "What is this?"

Shi Yigong smiled and said, "This first letter was written by Luo Sheng to me. It was considered a letter of seeking talents. On behalf of his Life Science Foundation, I asked me to take over the position of director of a world-leading structural biochemistry laboratory. It was implemented in Shanghai. The investment budget of the first phase of the project is as high as 700 million yuan and the total budget scale is 2.5 billion yuan."

This laboratory focuses on three major issues in the industry: 1) the formation mechanism of cyanobacteria blooms and its intervention strategies; 2) the pathogenic mechanism of Streptococcus pneumoniae; 3) the working mechanism of ab transporter. The laboratory's theoretical system and methodology include but are not limited to biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, microbiology, biophysics and cell biology.

Yang Ning's eyes couldn't help but look a bit strange: "I'm so rich... Teacher, did you agree?"

Mr. Shi Yi shook his head, then reached out and pointed to the second letter on the table: "This is a recommendation letter I wrote to you. I decided to recommend you to Luo Sheng to serve as the director of the Structural Biochemistry Laboratory in Shencheng."

Yang Ning was surprised by this, but she refused without thinking too much and said: "Teacher, I don't have the ability and qualifications to manage such a huge laboratory. Even if I can, it will take up my research time and energy to a great extent. I am a scientist, not a manager, I just want to be a pure research scholar."

Yang Ning refused very simply, almost without hesitation.

Mr. Shi Yi was not surprised at all about Yang Ning's decisive rejection, but said: "Xiao Ning, you are wrong. If you go, it will not only not hinder you from achieving greater achievements, but will instead provide you with an unprecedented broad stage. The technical platforms of the laboratory include analysis and crystallization systems; microbial genetic operating systems; cell culture and analysis sorting systems, enzymatic research systems, etc.."

Shi Yigong added: "In addition, there are many imported top large-scale instruments and equipment platforms, some of which are not even high-end large-scale instruments and equipment that are not even available in the Academy of Life Sciences and the National Research Center for Microscale Sciences. I don't know how Luo Sheng convinced foreigners."

It is worth mentioning that Luo Sheng’s Life Science Foundation not only accepts real financial support from super rich or wealthy families around the world, but also provides strong support in scientific instruments and equipment.

You should know that the name of every super rich or rich family represents not only huge wealth. If they solve them, many problems can be successfully solved.

Yang Ning asked in confusion: "Teacher, why don't you go but want me to go?"

Shi Yigong smiled and said, "You can't take it in a hurry when you see a good nest. You have to give up your position to young people. You are very good. I believe you can achieve world-renowned achievements in the field of structural biology, so I hope you can go. But you have to understand a truth. If you want to truly achieve results, it is not enough to be purely obsessed with research. Otherwise, you can't even get the funds for a scientific research project. How to study it? There are many reasons. As we all know, I won't say much. If you take over the position of director of the laboratory, you will have a lot of power to decide your research direction."

When Yang Ning saw his teacher's solemn tone and serious look, he hesitated for a moment because what Mr. Shi Yi said was correct, and he was very grateful to this mentor who had the kindness of her, and this time he once again recommended to a broader stage...

After a moment, she still hesitated and said, "But the scale of this laboratory is too large, I..."

Shi Yigong smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. You don't have to spend too much energy on management. The real power-oriented manager of this laboratory is the Life Science Foundation. Strictly speaking, this is a privately funded laboratory, but if you serve as a director, you will have the right to speak, and your voice will play a vital role in it. At least you have great autonomy in what research you want to do."

After Mr. Shi Yi said this, Yang Ning gradually became moved. I am afraid that few scientists would not be moved by autonomy and abundant research funds.

"Teacher, will Luo Sheng agree?" Yang Ning suddenly said. Although she is gifted in the field of structural biology, she is too young after all, and she originally asked Mr. Shi Yi to lead the company.

"Send this letter to see the situation. I have learned a little bit. Luo Sheng has always dared to use the young and strong leader. You are still quite competitive." Mr. Shi Yi said in a deep voice. Although he quickly praised his disciples to heaven in his recommendation letter and recommended them in his own name, he was not sure.

After a while, Mr. Shi Yi added: "But even if you can't get into this position of director, I still recommend that you go to the laboratory with a big funder who is not short of money. At least the amount of funds for scientific research projects will be larger and more efficient than you are now."

Mr. Shi Yi is full of confidence in this regard. As an authoritative letter of recommendation written in the field of structural biology, it is quite important. As long as the laboratory manager is not in a state of confusion, it will definitely be warmly welcomed.

On the other hand, if you refuse, it is a good thing, which means it is not as worth looking forward to as you imagined.

After saying that, Mr. Shi Yi picked up the recommendation letter he wrote and handed it to Yang Ning. The latter nodded with the letter: "Thank you, teacher, I'll go to the laboratory if there is nothing else."

Mr. Shi Yi shook his head and said, "Don't study it. Let's talk about the work matters for the time being. Take this letter and go to Sucheng to meet Luo Sheng first, and talk about it, and enjoy your future."

Yang Ning: "Okay, I'll listen to the teacher, let's prepare now."

Mr. Shi Yi nodded and smiled, "Go."

Luo Sheng's letter was sent a few days ago. Mr. Shi Yi was also worried that it would be impolite for too long to respond. Maybe he would be taken up by others by the time he was in a position, and would also give people the bad impression of being arrogant. No matter what, he would have to respond as soon as possible.

After all, this is the trust of the richest man in the world.
