Wen Yumei: Infection challenge will not stop, molecular diagnosis needs to be "networked"

" infection is the pathogen and the human body's eternal 'war and peace', every time there is a pathogen, human beings can diagnose, prevent treatment, and then control it, but the challenge is not to stop, the new body pathogen
She said that the first is to quickly, not quickly identify pathogens, a series of diagnosis, treatment prevention, disease development control will be affected;
" molecular diagnosis should be said to be a very important part of the diagnosis of infectious diseases. "And the domestic gene sequencing leader Huada gene has done a lot of work in this regard, "I think we still have to see, really good, then there is no room for improvement?" I think there's room for improvement in everything. Wen Yumei also put forward higher requirements for molecular diagnosis.
, she said, molecular diagnosis, while quick and good, must also have a biological basis. Knowing only the genes of pathogens is a long way from understanding how to cure diseases, how the body produces immunity, and how to develop new drugs and vaccines. "Molecular diagnosis may look like a good new weapon, but the study of traditional biology should also be linked and strengthened."
Yumei suggested that the field of molecular diagnosis should be more with hospitals, CDC, grass-roots prevention and control units to keep in touch. "To form a network, genetic diagnosis can be used as a core, but there has to be a lot of support next to it."
it is worth mentioning that Wen Yumei also mentioned in particular that, as a very large international city, Shanghai is in great need of molecular diagnosis. "Shanghai has too close a relationship with foreign countries, imports, people, more genetic diagnosis, there are some foreign diseases China does not have, we also need (diagnosis), so I think the link between Huada gene and Shanghai should be closer."
also mentioned that the Shanghai government decided to set up a Shanghai Institute of Infectious Diseases and Biosecurity, "which hopes to be able to cooperate more with genetic diagnosis in the future." Prior to July 24, the Shanghai Science and Technology
Conference and other departments officially issued "on strengthening public health emergency management science and technology system and capacity-building implementation of the Opinion." Among them, in order to strengthen the construction of emergency science and technology system, Shanghai will start the construction of major infectious diseases and biosecurity research institutes, integrate the city's infectious diseases and biosecurity advantages in the field of units, the establishment of a multidisciplinary coverage of pathogens, clinical, public health, information technology, public management and other multidisciplinary open platform.
Wen Yumei also said that genetic diagnosis should have a new breakthrough, new innovation, "now our instruments and equipment is very good, and the speed has been very fast, but also to live in peace and security, we also have their own development, others can not get neck technology." "
