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 , Contribute to the country’s innovation. development plays an important leading role. 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 continues to increase. In the new development concept, “innovative development” is ranked first, and “What’s wrong?” He pretends to be stupid. He thought he couldn’t escape this hurdle, but he couldn’t tell it, so he could only pretend to be stupid. fully reflects the importance of technological innovation.

In Zhang Gaiping’s view, to fight for the economy, we must first fight for technological innovation. Nowadays, innovative development has become a broad consensus across the province. Especially in recent years, Henan has placed innovation at 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, mainly focusing on research directions such as super vaccines, protein drugs, and immune detection technology, aiming to solve major scientific and technological problems and industrial bottlenecks.

Food safety is related to the peopleThe health and life safety of the public are major livelihood issues related to 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 large agricultural country, my country’s agricultural product production and trade account for a large proportion in economic development, but the rapid growth of trade and frequent exchanges of goods and personnel have also brought challenges to my country’s epidemic prevention and control. Come a huge challenge.

“Take the pig breeding industry as an example. my country is the country with the largest number of pigs in the world. China is the world’s largest pork consumer. The value of my country’s pork production and consumption accounts for nearly 50% of the world’s pork,” Zhang Gaiping lamented. However, if diseases such as African swine fever are not properly prevented and controlled, they will cause huge economic losses to our country’s pig breeding industry. , causing serious negative impact on the supply of pork market.

How to protect the “safety on the tip of the tongue” of the people from several aspects such as improving the system, developing science and technology, and cultivating talents. , guarding the country’s biosecurity?

Recommendations to improve the national biosecurity system, guard the first line of defense at the national gateContinue to build the national biosecurity line. The large database of data and information fully identifies and grasps national biosecurity-related risk factors such as plant pests, animal disease pathogens, human infectious disease pathogens, and invasive alien species, and consolidates the national biosecurity style. Go.

Accelerate technological innovation and increase investment in scientific research. , encourage scientific and technological innovation, carry out research on technical methods and equipment for national biosafety inspection and identification, processing, and monitoring, increase the allocation of high-tech equipment, seize the two words of early and fast, and fully realize “detection is possible and detection is accurate” on the front line “, check quickly”, the earliest to detect risk factors, and the “quickest” to take action to prevent and control risks from expanding spillover.

How Strengthen the construction of innovative talent teams and “acquire strength” for high-quality development? Zhang Gaiping believes that the first is to build a college, master’s and doctoral enrollment and training system that is consistent with the new situation and new requirements. The third is to continue to create a better talent development environment, improve the talent selection and employment mechanism, let professional people do professional things, and support the stable and long-term development of the biosafety system.
