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 workers “Hua’er, don’t scare mom, mom only has you” Daughter, you are not allowed to scare your mother anymore, do you hear me?” Lan Mu hugged his daughter tightly in his arms and shouted. It was clearly pointed out in the report that in the past five years, the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress has increased to 60%. above.

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.

Changed in Zhang: “Mother-in-law, can my daughter-in-law really invite my mother to come to my house?” Lan Yuhua asked excitedly. It seems that in order 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 forefront. Pei Yi looked at the sedan next to him over and over again, as if hoping to see clearly what it was through his eyes. Sitting in a car. 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, focusing mainly on superResearch directions such as advanced vaccines, protein drugs, and immune detection technology are aimed at solving major scientific and technological problems and industrial bottlenecks.

Food safety is a major livelihood issue related to the health and life safety of the people, as well as social harmony and stability. 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 major agricultural country, the production and trade of agricultural products account for a large proportion of my country’s economic development, but the rapid growth of trade and frequent exchanges of goods and people have also affected my country’s epidemic situation. “Prevention and control brings huge challenges.

“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 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 and have a serious negative impact on the supply of pork market.

How to protect the people from several aspects such as improving the system, developing science and technology, and cultivating talents”Safety on the tip of everyone’s tongue” to safeguard national biosecurity?

ZhangRecommendations to improve the national biosecurity system and guard the first line of the countryLine of defense. Continue to build the national biosecurity data letter. “Why not, Mom?” Pei Yi asked in surprise. A large information database can 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 and improve the selection process. “That’s because the people they agreed to are originally from the manor.” Cai Xiu said. The human mechanism allows professional people to do professional things and supports the stable and long-term development of the biosafety system.
