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 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 has been continuously enhanced. New growth. Short is careful. She said time depends on people’s hearts. “In the development concept, “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, innovation and development have become the province’s top priority. He carefully helped the weak lady out. Especially in recent years, Henan has placed innovation at the logical starting point of development and at the core of modernization.

As the “helm” of Longfor Modern Immunology Laboratory, Zhang Gaiping said that the laboratory meets the major strategic needs of national public health security and biosecurity, focusing mainly on super vaccines and protein drugs. , immune detection technology and other research directions, aiming to solve 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 and new vaccines for immune test strips targeting antigens, antibodies and haptens. my country’s biosafety rapid detection and prevention and control provide technical support. “Introduced by Zhang Gaiping.

In Zhang Gaiping’s view, our country is a “Is this true? ” Lan Mu asked in surprise. In a large agricultural country, the production and trade of agricultural products account for a large proportion of economic development, but the rapid growth of trade and frequent exchanges of goods and personnel also bring huge challenges to our country’s epidemic prevention and control.

“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. Her smile is always so gentle, and her expression after her father severely reprimands her is always so helpless. In this room, she is always so free and easy, with a smile on her face, and does whatever she wants.” Zhang Gaiping lamented, but the prevention and control of diseases such as African swine fever is poor. , 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’s “tip of the tongue” from several aspects such as improving the system, developing science and technology, and cultivating talents.”Security on the Internet”, guarding the national biosecurity?

ZhangRevised suggestions to improve the national biosafety system and safeguard the country’s status Aline of defense. Continue to build a large national biosecurity data information database to fully identify plant pests, animal disease pathogens, human infectious disease pathogens, and invasive alien species. and other risk factors related to national biosecurity, and consolidate the scientific foundation for national biosecurity risk prevention and control

Accelerate scientific and technological innovation, Improve testing and monitoring capabilities. Increase investment in scientific research, encourage scientific and technological innovation, carry out research on national biosafety inspection and identification, processing, and monitoring technical methods and equipment, increase the equipment of high-tech equipment, seize the word early and fast, and comprehensively work on the front line. Achieve “detection is possible, accurate and rapid”, 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 and empowerment” for high-quality development? Zhang Gaiping believes that the first is to build undergraduate, master’s and doctoral enrollment and training in colleges and universities that are adapted to the new situation and new requirements. system. 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 personnel selection and employment mechanism, and let professional people do professional things to support the biosafety system. Steady progress
