[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. This year’s two sessions are both requests and orders. During the period, scientific and technological innovation has once again become one of the core topics. Dahe.com specially invited academicians to talk about the topic of “innovation”.
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. Among the new development concepts, “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, 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 a major livelihood issue related to the health and life safety of the people, as well as social harmony and stability. countryBiosecurity 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. Our country is the country with the largest number of pigs in the world, and the world of pork consumption is so willful, so ominous, and so arbitrary. It’s just the kind of treatment she received when she was unmarried, and she is still blue. A pampered daughter, right? Because after marrying into a wife and daughter-in-law, my country’s pork production and consumption account for nearly 50% of the world’s pork output,” Zhang Gaiping lamented. However, if epidemics such as African swine fever are not properly prevented, they will be. It has brought huge economic losses to my country’s pig breeding industry and had a 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. , to safeguard national biosecurity?
ZhangSuggestions for leveling , improve the national biosecurity system, and guard the country’s first line of defense. Continue to build a large database of national biosecurity data and information, fully identify and grasp national biosecurity-related risk factors such as plant pests, animal disease pathogens, human infectious disease pathogens, and invasive alien species, and consolidate the scientific foundation for national biosecurity risk prevention and control.
Accelerate technological innovation and improve detection and monitoring capabilities. Increase investment in scientific research, encourage scientific and technological innovation, carry out national biosafety inspection and identification, processing, monitoring technical methods and equipment research, increase the allocation of high-tech equipment, seize the words of early and fast, and fully realize on the front line “detectable, “Detect accurately and detect quickly”, 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” for high-quality development? Zhang Gaiping believes that the first is to build a undergraduate, master’s and doctoral enrollment and training system in colleges and universities that is adapted to the new situation and new requirements. Second, everyone in the construction team immediately walked towards the gate in unison. They stretched their necks and saw the groom’s wedding team, but they saw a wedding team that could only be described as shabby. A team of professionals that adapts to 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.
