Only Hated That I Hadn't Studied More
Autumn has passed and winter is coming; the end of the year is approaching.
The C01C-2 tablets, developed by Shen Qi Team, underwent a Phase I clinical trial at Yanjing University People's Hospital.
The Phase I clinical trial results were satisfactory, and C01C-2 tablets successfully entered Phase II clinical trials.
The primary objective of the Phase II clinical trial of C01C-2 tablets was to test the efficacy of the new drug. The volunteers participating in the trial were patients with Type II Diabetes.
Clinical trial researchers divided volunteers into two groups: an experimental group, who would take C01C-2 tablets, and a control group, who would take commercially available medications for Type II Diabetes on an outpatient basis.
Winter has passed and spring has arrived; another year has passed.
The initial results of the Phase II clinical trial of C01C-2 tablets are promising, with excellent data on volunteers' plasma glucose, liver and kidney function, blood lipids, routine blood and urine tests, electrocardiogram, weight, and blood pressure.
Furthermore, only 3% of the volunteers in the CO1C-2 tablet group observed hypoglycemia as a side effect. In contrast, the incidence of this side effect was 32% in the Glimepiride Tablets control group.
Based on personal wishes and industry-academia-research policies, Shen Qi dispatched Cheng Haonan, Associate Researcher the center's Chemistry group, to Nangang City Ou Beiqi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.. to conduct research on a novel synthesis method for C01C-2 tablets, aiming to develop a new method with higher yield, lower cost, and suitability for large-scale production.
There are certain differences between the laboratory synthesis methods and the industrial-scale mass synthesis methods for the same compound.
The C01C-2 tablet R&D team, led by Shen Qi, aims to mass-produce this drug on an assembly line and eventually bring it to market.
Cheng Haonan, who had worked at an organic synthesis outsourcing company for several years, readily accepted the task. He graduated from the Chemistry Department at Yenching University with a master's degree, had some practical experience, and was very familiar with C01C-2 tablets. He was the most suitable candidate.
Cheng Haonan went to Ou Beiqi Pharmaceutical as the chief technical consultant, which would allow him to improve his professional skills and also earn him a substantial salary.
Old Shen prepared an apartment for Cheng Haonan, located in the CBD area of Nangang City, right by the Pearl River, with a beautiful view.
Cheng Haonan stayed in this 120-square-meter, three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment during his business trip to Nangang. If the C01C-2 project is successfully listed, this apartment, worth tens of millions of yuan, will be transferred to Cheng Haonan's name.
Old Yan remained at Yenching University to assist Shen Qi in his research on new chemistry projects.
The new chemistry project is extremely complex, involving the development of Macrocyclic Compounds with eight or more members, the evolution of chemistry to chirality, the leap in the origin of life, and new drugs for treating Ou Ye disease... Shen Qi always felt that there were vague connections between these seemingly disparate research directions.
Researching such a massive project was a challenge for Shen Qi and Old Yan, so they needed to hire more people.
Shen Qi set his sights overseas and decided to recruit a group of overseas-trained chemistry elites.
Poaching talent from within the country strengthens oneself but weakens the power of friendly schools and departments, something Shen Qi doesn't want to do.
The call for Chinese chemical researchers who had been stranded overseas to return to China has been supported by all relevant institutions and departments.
At Shen Qi's level, bringing a group of scholars back to China would not be difficult.
At the same time, the Yanda Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center was officially renamed the "Yanjing University Shen Qi Science Research Center".
The change from "mathematical and physical research" to "scientific research" is necessary. The newly established Yanjing University Shen Qi Science Research Center has upgraded the Chemistry group to Chemistry Room.
The head of the Chemistry Room is on the same level as the heads of the Mathematics Room and Physics Room. The head of the Mathematics Room has already been officially appointed; it is Zhou Yu'an.
The Yanjing University Shen Qi Science Research Center holds a slightly higher status than other colleges within the university. Shen Qi, as the center's director, wields administrative power slightly less than the university president but more than the deans of other colleges.
Shen Qi's administrative power was not very high, but his scientific research power was supreme.
In terms of scientific research, as long as Shen Qi asks for help, the president of Yanda University basically gives him the green light all the way.
Zhou Yu'an, the head of the mathematics lab, is at the same level as the vice dean of the School of Mathematics at Yenching University, while the deputy director of the center is equivalent to the dean of various colleges at Yenching University.
The position of deputy director of the center is currently vacant, and Shen Qi will temporarily serve as the director of the Physics Room and Chemistry Room.
The Chemistry Room of the Yanjing University Shen Qi Science Research Center is now openly recruiting globally for one Laboratory Director, one Deputy Laboratory Director, and several Chemistry Researchers and Associate Researcher.
The application criteria for the head and deputy head of the Chemistry Room are. "Graduation from a top 10 global university in chemistry, a doctoral degree, professorship, having solved at least one major chemical research project as an academic leader, having published at least one article in one of the four major international chemistry journals, good moral character, patriotism, and specific salary to be discussed in person."
The application criteria for researchers and Associate Researcher are. "Graduation from a top 100 university globally in chemistry, a doctoral degree, publication of at least one article in an internationally renowned chemistry journal, good moral character, patriotism, and specific salary to be discussed in person."
After Shen Qi issued the recruitment notice, there was an enthusiastic response from applicants.
Old Yan couldn't sit still any longer. He said to Shen Qi, "Boss, the new Associate Researcher you've hired are all overseas PhDs who graduated from the world's top 100 chemistry universities. I'm just a country bumpkin with a master's degree. I can't make it here! Why don't you send me to Ou Beiqi Pharmaceutical as a technical consultant so I can keep Hao Nan company? What do you think?"
"You really want to go?" Shen Qi asked.
"Studying is a continuous process. The most suitable pace is to complete a master's degree and then pursue a doctorate. I graduated with my master's degree many years ago, and I even tried to pursue a doctorate, but I can't settle down anymore. According to my estimate, Boss Shen, you need to recruit at least 20 overseas-trained chemistry PhDs this time, otherwise your grand plan will be difficult to achieve. In short, you should send me to a company as a consultant. I can adapt to long-term business trips."
"Old Yan, you don't hate me, do you?"
"How could I hate you? I only hate that I didn't study enough. It's true, you only realize how little you know when you need it." Old Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm very grateful to you, Director Shen. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to publish articles as the first author in the four major chemistry journals, and more than one at that. After following you for these past few years, I've also received a certain amount of chemical patent transfer fees. Without that money, I wouldn't have been able to afford the down payment for that apartment within the Fourth Ring Road. My fiancée was also introduced to me by you. By the way, I'm getting married soon. After the wedding banquet, would you send me to Nangang?"
"Your wedding is just around the corner, and the days after the wedding will be the sweetest time for the newlyweds. I'm sending you to Nangang, so you can't come back to the capital to visit your family every day. Old Yan, you really don't hate me?"
"What's the point of a man staying by his wife's side all day if he can't earn money? She'll just say he's useless. Most importantly, I have a deep affection for C01C-2 tablets; they're like my child. I want to see them mass-produced and successfully launched on the market. I want to be a part of that process. But in the Yenching University lab, I can only watch the news."
Shen Qi patted Old Yan on the shoulder. "Alright, brother, I respect your wishes. Actually, you are the originator of the C Series compounds. Although there was an element of chance in your creation process, it is undeniable that you are the father of the C Series compounds. By the way, when are you having your banquet? I have to give you a big gift."
Book Recommendation: <I Want to Rent Myself>. This book is about renting yourself out and interacting with various clients. The experienced protagonist's actions are incredibly skillful. It's a gem among urban novels and a masterpiece among slice-of-life stories. I've been following several of Wu Ling's books. His writing style has unique personal characteristics, is light and humorous, and his thought processes are unexpected yet logical, often eliciting bursts of laughter.
