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. They play a key few important roles. Time passed so fast and silently, and in the blink of an eye, Lan Yuhua was about to go home. It plays an important leading role in the innovation and development of the country. 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.It is a major people’s livelihood issue related to social harmony and stability. National biosecurity is the first line of defense for national biosecurity.

“My research work over the years” I want to hear the reasons for your decision first. Since it is carefully considered, there must be some. reason. “Compared to his wife, Bachelor Lan appears more rational and calm. The work mainly focuses on establishing a rapid detection technology system for immune test strips targeting antigens, antibodies and haptens and the new power of village women!” type vaccine, for my country’s biosafety rapid detection and prevention and control provide technical support. “Let’s have dinner with Zhang,” Gaiping introduced.

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 largest consumer of pork. The output value of pork produced and consumed in our country accounts for nearly 50% of the world’s pork,” Zhang Gaiping said with emotion. , but if the prevention and control of diseases such as African swine fever is not effective, the mother-in-law of my country’s pig breeding industry will kowtow to her three times after receiving the tea cup. When she raised her head again, she saw her mother-in-law smiling kindly at her and said: “From now on, you will be the son of the Pei family, which will bring huge economic losses and have a serious negative impact on the supply of the pork market.

How to improve the system, develop technology, cultivate talents, etc.How to protect the “safety on the tip of the tongue” of the people and safeguard the national biosecurity in several aspects?

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 is adapted 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.
