Ning Guang academician: To do the original innovation is China's great power to play

the global scientific and technological competition is becoming more and more serious background, China's development of original innovation should start from, and where should it lead?
In the view of Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Engineering
and Shanghai Jiaoda University School of Medicine
Ningguang, the great changes that have not been made in a hundred years have promoted in-depth thinking on the integrity of the scientific chain from all walks of life in China.
" China's applied research and application-oriented industries are relatively developed, to promote economic development, which is a due and inevitable process. But after having a certain economic strength, we need to have more courage to develop the original innovation, solid industrial innovation before the foundation. Because this is an indispensable part of the scientific chain. Ning Guang said.
He explains the meaning of this "boldness": first, to increase the original innovation input, regardless of output, "because the original innovation can not predict output, to some extent input is the sunk cost"; "
is original innovation?" Ning Guang believes that the original innovation is based on human curiosity and true love, at the same time need to have a profound accumulation of background.
"It comes from wanting to know something, why something happens, to explore the reasons, but not necessarily to get results, " Ning said. " "
the situation of China's scenario application innovation, industrial application innovation first, how to force the original innovation to occur? Ning Guang pointed out that the industry should also be oriented towards the original innovation of innovation.
he cites the medical field as an example: "A mature hospital system should be divided into professional doctors, clinicians, research doctors and so on, rather than allowing a doctor to assume multiple roles."
Among them, professional doctors use refined medical technology to better heal patients as their goal and motivation to learn;
"When more and more research doctors are available, research hospitals are available," Ning said, as an essential force for biomedical innovation, research hospitals aim to discover and invent new technologies and drugs, not only to provide large-scale clinical drug trials for innovative drugs, but also to do innovative research on difficult conditions.
Ningguang pointed out that Shanghai's medical strength, has a rich patient group, so research-oriented hospitals can be completely born out of the existing large hospitals, "it is important to classify the functions of the hospital, there are efficient treatment of patients as the responsibility of professional doctors, but also research and innovation as their own responsibility of research-oriented doctors." "
" Although the original innovation did not occur in the hospital, but its earliest and most important source may have come from the hospital," Ning Guang said, such as Wang Zhenyi
of Ruijin Hospital, that is, the first clinical discovery of the all-trans methicillin treatment of acute early granulocytic leukemia, and then its genetic basis and molecular mechanisms, laid the clinical foundation for induced differentiation theory.
" this is a kind of original innovation, it is based on Wang Zhenyi
decades of profound clinical accumulation and mechanism research, but also experienced a lot of failures, but one day suddenly cheerful. Ning Guang said it is important to give original innovation an inclusive environment.
, a Chinese medicine thinker, is a unique "treasure" for the innovation of chinese biomedicine. "Chinese medicine is a very sophisticated system, can bring breakthrough to a lot of scientific ideas, many new drug molecular structure of the discovery also comes from Chinese medicine, but how to make Chinese medicine in the future innovative drug development to play a value, is still a problem that needs to be cracked."
, Chinese medicine must first go to the world and enter the global and innovative exchange system of biomedicine. However, it is imperative for Chinese medicine to establish an international communication system, so that China and the West recognize each other, with modern scientific methods to "dig treasure", "communication can make innovation to a deeper level." At
the same time, Ning Guang said, integrating Chinese medicine into global innovation is also a reflection of China's role, "to invest more in original innovation and basic scientific development, and to make this knowledge accumulated into something to share, which will be very important for the progress of human medicine."
