After this little episode, White's attitude towards Addison Bryce has completely changed. Originally, after enjoying the delicious seafood at the Plum Garden Hotel, he planned to go skiing with Emma.
But at this moment, Addison Bryce's cell phone rang. It was Johnson who called and asked him to go back to school. When White heard it, he immediately expressed his enthusiasm to send Addison Bryce and Qin Wei back to Harvard University first. If it were before, White would not be so enthusiastic. He must have thought: If you have something urgent, you can just take a taxi. But now, White has already determined that Addison Bryce has a bright future, so he naturally has to make friends with her.
After returning to Harvard University, Addison Bryce went straight to Johnson's office, while Qin Wei returned to the dormitory with Emma.
"Weiwei, your boyfriend is so amazing! If we weren't so close, I would have pursued him. So, you have to keep a close eye on him, don't let some little goblin seduce him away." Emma said.
"I didn't expect him to grow so fast and attract so much attention." Qin Wei felt quite stressed, "and I always feel that I can't hold him down. When I get along with him, he always holds the initiative."
"Then I can only use my big move, find a chance to take him down and suppress him." Emma suggested.
"Take him down? Suppress him?" Qin Wei looked at a loss.
"Oh my god, you don't even understand this, you are so naive that it makes people laugh and cry... There is no other way. When we get back to the dormitory, I will give you the good things I have collected in my hard drive, so that you can see them." Emma said mysteriously.
...
Addison Bryce walked into Johnson's office and found that in addition to Johnson, there was also a gray-haired old man.
"Addison, come here, let me introduce you." Johnson looked at the old man and said with a smile, "This is Professor Tian Zhixing, he is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he is a well-known expert in the field of biological virology in the world. You are studying HIV, but I am not very good at this field and can't help you much, so I specially introduce you to Professor Miller. If you encounter any virus-related problems in the future, you can ask Professor Miller for advice or seek help from him." Hearing Johnson's words, Addison Bryce was deeply moved. He was studying HIV, and Johnson took the initiative to introduce Professor Miller, an expert in biological virology, to him. Such a mentor is probably hard to find even with a lantern. "Teacher, thank you!" Addison Bryce expressed his gratitude sincerely. He will remember Johnson's friendship deeply in his heart. Then, he turned his eyes to Professor Miller. In fact, he had heard of Professor Miller's great reputation. Professor Miller is a leading expert in biological virology in China. He studied in Singapore in his early years. At that time, Singapore offered extremely generous conditions to try to retain him, but he resolutely chose to return to his motherland and Harvard University, where he taught and educated people while helping the country develop through scientific research. There is a saying in the academic circle: Professor Miller supports half of Harvard University's virology.
"Professor Miller, I will trouble you a lot in the future." Addison Bryce was not polite. Since Professor Miller appeared here, it showed that he was willing to help him.
"No trouble, not at all." Professor Miller said, "Now the global disease situation is becoming more and more severe. Large-scale epidemics have broken out many times, and our country has not been spared. Therefore, I have been looking forward to more outstanding talents to devote themselves to the field of biotechnology. Only by mastering advanced technology can our country deal with major diseases and epidemics calmly." "The AIDS you are studying is also a disease that gives me a headache. In just a few decades, it has shown an explosive growth in our country, and the number of patients has reached millions. Moreover, young people are becoming more and more open-minded, and the spread of AIDS may become more serious in the future." At this point, Professor Miller couldn't help but sigh. People like him who are looking forward to the prosperity of the country are really heartbroken to see AIDS spreading among young people. Unconsciously, Addison Bryce was infected by Professor Miller's feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and he couldn't help but feel deep respect and admiration for Professor Miller. Professor Miller continued, "Addison, I have read your information. To be honest, you are the most talented researcher I have ever seen. As long as you don't waste your talent, you will definitely become the mainstay of our country's biological community in the future. So, I will do my best to help you. Whether it is in scientific research or life, you can come to me if you encounter anything."
"Thank you, Professor Miller." Addison Bryce was touched. He could see that Professor Miller was willing to help him, not for fame or money, but purely to cultivate talents for the country. This kind of sentiment is indeed difficult to understand for those who believe in money first.
After a pause, Addison Bryce said, "In fact, I already have some ideas about the treatment of AIDS. I plan to use single-base gene editing technology to modify the genes of macrophages so that macrophages can recognize and eliminate HIV, and at the same time recognize and eliminate cells infected by HIV."
After listening to Addison Bryce's story, Professor Miller thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a feasible idea, but it is not easy to implement. Because we don't have a deep understanding of macrophage genes at present, and we know very little about the specific behavior of HIV after entering macrophages. In addition, the existing gene editing technology is not accurate enough, and the possibility of off-target is very high. In the process of modifying genes, even the slightest possibility of failure is not allowed, because it may bring some unexpected negative effects."
At this point, Professor Miller seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile, "My brain is really confused. I actually forgot the single-base gene editing technology you developed. This technology is very accurate. If it is used for gene editing, the success rate should be very high... Moreover, since you were able to develop this technology, it shows that you have a very deep understanding of genes... Addison, I support you to explore this path. Science requires continuous exploration and continuous attempts to achieve success. Maybe I will hear the good news of your success soon. "In fact, Professor Miller is not sure whether Addison Bryce can really succeed. He just wants to encourage young people like Addison Bryce to try bravely.
