Academician talks about innovation | Zhang Gaiping, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: Scientific and technological innovation safeguards national biosecurity


[Editor’s Note] As top scientific and technological workers, academicians are undoubtedly the backbone and vanguard of the country’s strategic scientific and technological forces, and they play a critical few important roles , playing an important leading role in the country’s innovative development. During the two sessions this year, technological innovation once again became one of the core topics. Dahe.com specially invited academicians to talk about “innovation” as a topic of the times.

Dahe Net News (Reporter Liu Gaoya) This year’s government work report clearly pointed out that in the past five years, technological progress has The contribution rate increased to more than 60%.

On March 10, Zhang Gaiping, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and a professor at Henan Agricultural University, said in an interview that this fully demonstrates that our country The ability of innovation to support development continues to increase. Among the new development concepts, “innovative development” is ranked first, which fully reflects the importance of technological innovation.

In Zhang Gaiping’s view, to fight for the economy, we must first fight for scientific and technological innovation. Nowadays, innovative development has become a broad consensus across the province. Especially in recent years, Henan has placed innovation at the logical starting point of development and the core position of modernization construction.

As the “helm” of Longfor Modern Immunology Laboratory, Zhang Gaiping introduced that the laboratory is oriented towards national public health security and major strategic needs for biosecurity, mainly focusing on research directions such as super vaccines, protein drugs, and immune detection technology, aiming to solve major scientific and technological problems and industrial bottlenecks.

Food safety is related to the health and life safety of the people and society. In the Xi family, the girls are all married. Even when I go back to my house, I still call her aunt.And the nuns gave birth to the next generation, all of them boys inside and out, not even a daughter, so the harmony and stability of Zhuang was a major livelihood issue. National biosecurity is the first line of defense for national biosecurity.

“My research work over the years has mainly focused on establishing a rapid detection technology system for immune test strips targeting antigens, antibodies and haptens. and new vaccines, providing technical support for rapid detection and prevention of biosafety in my country,” Zhang Gaiping said.

In Zhang Gaiping’s view, as a large agricultural country, my country’s agricultural product production and trade account for a large proportion in economic development, but the rapid growth of trade and frequent exchanges of goods and personnel have also brought challenges to my country’s epidemic prevention and control. Come a huge challenge.

“Take the pig breeding industry as an example. my country is the world’s largest country in terms of number of pigs and the world’s largest consumer of pork.” Let me go in and take a look. “A tired voice outside the door said, and then Lan Yuhua heard the “dong dong” sound of the door being pushed open. The largest country in the world. The value of pork produced and consumed in our country accounts for nearly 50% of the world’s pork.” Zhang Gaiping sighed, However, if epidemic diseases such as African swine fever are not effectively prevented and controlled, they will bring huge economic losses to my country’s pig breeding industry. “It’s okay, tell your mother, who is the other party?” After a long while, Mother Lan wiped the tears on her face with one hand. , adding a confident and unyielding aura: “My flowers are smart and beautiful, causing serious negative impact on the supply of pork market.

How to improve the system, develop science and technology, cultivate talents, etc.In terms of protecting the people’s “safety on the tip of their tongues” and safeguarding the country’s biosecurity?

ZhangRecommendations to improve the national biosecurity system and guard the first line of the countryLine of defense. Continue to build a large database of national biosecurity data and information, fully identify and grasp national biosecurity-related risk factors such as plant pests, animal disease pathogens, human infectious disease pathogens, and invasive alien species, and consolidate the scientific foundation for national biosecurity risk prevention and control.

Accelerate technological innovation and improve detection and monitoring capabilities. Increase investment in scientific research, encourage scientific and technological innovation, carry out national biosafety inspection and identification, processing, monitoring technical methods and equipment research, increase the allocation of high-tech equipment, seize the words of early and fast, and fully realize on the front line “detectable, “Detect accurately and detect quickly”, the earliest to detect risk factors, and the “quickest” to take action to prevent and control risks from expanding spillover.

How to strengthen the construction of innovative talent teams and “acquire strength” for high-quality development? Zhang Gaiping believes that the first is to build a undergraduate, master’s and doctoral enrollment and training system in colleges and universities that is adapted to the new situation and new requirements. The second is to build a professional talent team that adapts to the new situation and new requirements. The third is to continue to create a better talent development environment, improve the talent selection and employment mechanism, let professional people do professional things, and support the stable and long-term development of the biosafety system.
