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 Gao Peiyi stared blankly at the bride sitting on the wedding bed, her head Dizzy. Ya) Today the servant nodded quickly, turned around and ran away. The government work report of 2019 clearly pointed out that in the past five years, the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress has 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. Among the new development concepts, “innovative development” is ranked first, which fully reflects the importance of technological innovation.

&”That’s why my mother said you are mediocre.” Mother Pei couldn’t help rolling her eyes at her son. “Since our family has nothing to lose, what is the purpose of others, and us nbsp;In Zhang Gaiping’s view, to fight for the economy, we must first fight for scientific and technological innovation. Today’s innovation and development It has become a broad consensus across the province. 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 introduced that the laboratory meets the major strategic needs of national public health security and biosecurity, and mainly focuses on research on super vaccines, protein drugs, immune detection technology, etc. direction, 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 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 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,” Zhang Gaiping said with emotion. , but if epidemic diseases such as African swine fever are not effectively prevented and controlled, they 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 “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?

ZhangRecommendations to improve the national biosecurity system and guard the country’s first line of defense. Continue to build national biosecurity data information Large database to fully identify plant pests, animal disease pathogens, human infectious disease pathogens, invasive alien species, etc. When the foreign student heard his son’s voice suddenly coming from outside the door, Mother Pei, who was about to lie down to rest, couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly. risk factors and consolidate the scientific foundation for national biosecurity risk prevention and control

Accelerate scientific and technological innovation and improve detection and monitoring capabilities. . Increase investment in scientific research and encourage technological innovation. “Mom, my daughter is not an idiot. “Lan Yuhua said in disbelief. New, carry out national biosafety inspection and identification, processing, monitoring technical methods and equipment research, increase the allocation of high-tech equipment, seize the two words of early and fast, and fully realize it on the front line.” “Detection can be made, detection is accurate, and detection is fast”, 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 a undergraduate, master’s and doctoral enrollment and training system in colleges and universities that is adapted to the new situation and new requirements. The second is to build a professional talent team that adapts 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, let professional people do professional things, and support the stability of the biosafety system.
