The website of American academic publications shows—— |
U. According to the American academic journal website, Ralph Barrick, known as the "coronavirus hunter", has been committed to researching, transforming and manufacturing coronavirus "technologies" for decades Barrick and the two research institutions engaged in research on high-risk viruses and coronaviruses in Fort Detrick, the US Army Medical Institute of Infectious Diseases, and the "Comprehensive Research Facility" under the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, are both Have close ties Long-term research on coronavirus transformation technology Long-term research on coronavirus transformation technology Barrick is currently a professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of North Carolina, a member of the American Society of Microbiology, and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences . According to the official website of the National Academy of Sciences , Barrick mainly studies three RNA viruses, including coronaviruses that cause severe respiratory infections Academician of the Academy of Sciences According to the US "MIT Science and Technology Review" magazine, Barrick has mastered a technology that uses "reverse genetic technology" to transform and even "enhance" the coronavirus With this technology, he can not only cultivate a living virus based on the gene fragments of the coronavirus, but also modify the gene of the coronavirus to create a new coronavirus According to the US "Journal of Virology" website, in 2002, Barrick's leadership team established the world's first reverse genetic system of murine hepatitis virus based on fragment assembly Relying on this system, scientists can conduct research on viruses in vivo. In 2003, a paper published by Barrick demonstrated the power of this technology and successfully resurrected a SARS-like coronavirus Later, Barrick and others applied for a patent for this achievement, which was approved in 2007, and the patent code was US7279327B2 Artificially modified the virus without leaving a trace Artificially modified the virus without leaving a trace In 2008, Barrick et al. "In this study, we report the largest, artificially synthesized, and replicable life form Academy of Sciences In 2015, Barrick used his virus modification technology in an American laboratory to create a new type of coronavirus that can infect humans In this study, both virus modification and mouse infection experiments were carried out at the University of North Carolina Academy of Sciences In June 2020, Barrick hosted the American "Virology of the Week" podcast to further elaborate on the details of his team's "reconstructing the coronavirus" in their own laboratory He said: "It is very easy to modify the new coronavirus. You can put at least four or five different sets of mutations into the receptor binding domain of the new coronavirus, so that the new coronavirus can interact with the mouse angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor binding . " Although almost all scientists say that a virus that has been artificially modified may leave traces, Barrick said that he can do "artificially modified viruses without leaving traces Unusual relationship with Fort Detrick Unusual relationship with Fort Detrick It is worth noting that Barrick and Fort Detrick, two research institutions engaged in research on high-risk viruses and coronaviruses, are the "comprehensive research facilities under the US Army Institute of Infectious Diseases and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. A large number of scientific research papers show that Barrick has conducted many research collaborations involving coronaviruses with the US Army Institute of Infectious Diseases Both the U. The U. The Biology Laboratory of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where Barrick is located, has similar problems Philippine "Manila Times" columnist Mauro Ja Samet recently published an article entitled "Now the whole world is asking for an investigation into Fort Detrick", saying that a series of doubts have targeted Detrick for the traceability of the virus. The Malaysian "ASEAN Post" recently published an article saying that a group of Filipino journalists, entrepreneurs and scholars also initiated a petition online, urging the WHO to investigate Fort Detrick (This newspaper, Washington, August 17th)
