Chapter 2595 Some Suggestions

Xie Wanying heard this, and thought Student Duan really is a wealthy person.

No, it’s not Student Duan, it’s Immortal Brother who is really wealthy. The research funding for Student Duan is overseen and applied by Immortal Brother. Transgenic mice are much more expensive than healthy mice. Simply put, a transgenic mouse costs several hundred per mouse, while a healthy mouse costs several dozen.

It is possible that Student Duan might save money by producing transgenic mice himself. However, if he were to start from scratch to create transgenic mice, the complexity and time consumption of the experiment would probably drive the experimenter insane. Student Duan has to not only conduct scientific research but also learn and work night shifts at the hospital, and as a student, he doesn’t have anyone else to help him, leaving him to do the entire experiment alone.

Upon receiving her super approving look, Duan Sanbao quickly said, "No, I bought them." This confirmed that not even a genius can withstand the double workload of scientific research and clinical work.

Since Doctor Duan trusts her, Xie Wanying thought about giving her little reference suggestion, unsure if it was correct. Regarding clinical research, her previous research was not clinical, so she lacks experience.

"For heterotopic abdominal heart transplantation, it naturally requires a surgical microscope to perform. The small size of mice makes this surgery more challenging." Xie Wanying said, "It requires opening the abdomen, interrupting major blood vessels, and postoperative complications are quite numerous, with a relatively high failure rate. It might be better to transplant at the neck. Transplanting at the neck doesn’t require abdominal opening, has less impact on the recipient’s circulation, and might better control the risks."

Duan Sanbao looked at her, once again feeling her richness in scientific knowledge.

This is due to the previous reading materials provided by various teachers and senior brothers. Like Guoxie Hepatobiliary Surgery, using mouse orthotopic liver transplantation models for experiments is naturally a superior choice. As such, she gained a certain understanding of mouse models.

Duan Sanbao didn’t speak, his mind pondering over her suggestion.

After wandering around the Animal Experiment Building, Duan Sanbao took them to visit Immortal Brother’s lab. Animal experiments are typically conducted in the Animal Experiment Building unless one is a Boss, having an animal room set up in their research building with necessary equipment and environment to conduct animal experiments.

Just now, Immortal Brother is a Boss.

Exiting the Animal Experiment Building, the group wandered around and arrived at the research building. In the medical school’s research building, some are unified into one building, some are scattered across various departments, a total only probably known by university leaders. The research building they arrived at was newly constructed, with shiny white exterior walls, housing research labs of many department bosses.

Going up the stairs to the fifth floor, two plaques hung in the corridor reading: Cardiovascular Auxiliary Circulation Research Lab, Biochemistry Research Lab. Although appearing as two labs, it is actually a combined lab, focusing on molecular genetics research of cardiomyopathy, gene and cell therapy for heart disease, artificial heart valves, left heart assist devices, etc. Overall, it can largely be summed up in one sentence: The research direction here is the pathology and treatment of advanced heart disease.

The scope of cardiovascular research is extensive. It is said that the old building next door has a lab conducting foundational research on coronary heart disease, targeting the mechanism of coronary heart disease development.

Upon entering, several zones are set up, including office areas, biological laboratories, chemical research labs, cell culture rooms, animal houses, and other experimental areas. Upon entering the laboratory area, one must wear work clothes, disposable gloves, hats, etc.
