I really don't want to be a doctor

Chapter 193 Repeatability Test

Jeffrey lowered his head in shame, holding a stack of manuscript paper full of experimental procedures in his hand.

"Yes teacher, I will proofread the experimental steps carefully."

"Okay, you go back!" Katie waved to Jeffrey.

Jeffrey returned to his laboratory lonely and began to rearrange the experimental data.

Looking at the experimental process that had been repeated no less than ten times on the manuscript paper in front of him, he felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Jeffrey continued to read all the papers on cardiac stem cells published by Professor Piero Anversa so far, trying to find out the differences from his own experimental procedures.

From day to night.Jeffrey has been in his laboratory for most of the day.

His eyes were bloodshot, but the results of the experiment were still the same as before. Cardiac stem cells could not regenerate contractile cardiomyocytes at a high rate!

This is completely contrary to what Professor Piero Anversa said in the article that cardiac stem cells can regenerate!
"What went wrong?"

Jeffrey began to doubt his experimental reagents, and even his own experimental methods.

"Dear Jeffrey, aren't you going back to your dorm yet? It's almost eleven o'clock at night!"

Karen, who lives in the same dormitory as Jeffrey, has packed his backpack and is ready to leave.

"The experiment is not finished yet! You go back first, don't wait for me today."

"OK then."

Silent night.

The doctoral students in the same laboratory left one after another, leaving Jeffrey alone in the huge laboratory.

This myocardial stem cell research project is his doctoral graduation project, if he can't complete it, then he probably won't be able to graduate.

It is even more difficult to find a new research project, and he has already spent a lot of resources on this myocardial stem cell project!

All night, Jeffrey stayed in the laboratory, constantly verifying Professor Piero Anversa's experiment on cardiac stem cells.

But the reality is often cruel...

Until the sun rose the next day, Jeffrey still hadn't completed the repeated experiment.

"Oh, mg god!"

McLaren, who had just entered the laboratory, let out an exclamation because he saw Jeffrey who was still working.

"My Geoffrey, did you sleep all night last night?"

Jeffrey nodded dumbly, and then turned back to continue his experiment.

"Why are you like those foreign students from Huaxia!" McLaren frowned, "Jeffrey, staying up all night will affect your work efficiency today!"

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has many international students from all over the world. Among them, Chinese students are the most hardworking, and many of them can hardly leave the door of the laboratory.

This kind of behavior is generally ridiculed and cast aside by students from other countries in the same group!
In their eyes, a Huaxia student is a nerd who likes to plagiarize and plagiarize!
"McLaren, my Ph.D. degree has been postponed for one year. If I don't get any results this year, I may have to postpone it for another year!" Jeffrey sighed, "I'm not like you. All the work, the next step is to write the paper, but I am still doing repeated experiments!"

McLaren wondered: "Why are you still doing repeated experiments?!"

The so-called repetitive experiment is to repeat and restore other people's experiments step by step according to the existing laboratory procedures and data!
This is an operation without any technical content at all!

"McLaren, I really can't help it." Jeffrey shook his head helplessly, "Whenever I tried to transfer and inject cardiomyocytes into the heart, I failed. Facts have proved that cardiac muscle stem cells cannot survive in the heart." !"

"Jeffrey, is there any problem with this research and development result?" McLaren said, "If you think that the heart tissue cannot survive, then you can also study it as an idea?! Maybe the original author's experiment was an accidental experiment. It is not certain that the incidents that have occurred, or that the data in the original papers have been falsified!"

He and McLaren are not in the same experimental group, and the research and development directions are completely different.

Jeffrey shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "McLaren, do you know who the original author of this paper is?"

"Who?" McLaren asked curiously.

Jeffrey said softly: "Professor Piero Anversa."

"It's him? That big man in the cardiovascular field of Harvard Medical School?" McLaren said in surprise.

"Yeah." Jeffrey nodded.

"Okay." McLaren could only cast a sympathetic look at Jeffrey, "Then I can understand you!"

No one would doubt an authoritative expert who has been famous for a long time, and this expert is still at the top level in the world, so he can only find the reason in himself.

Jeffrey ignored his roommate and continued to work on the experiment.

……

Huaxia, China Institute of Biological Medicine.

"Xiao Ran, there is no way to complete the myocardial stem cell experiment you asked us to do!"

The three of Wang Tuo were staring at the experimental results in front of them with sad faces.

After the initial relaxed laboratory life, Jing Xiaoran has already started to assign some experimental tasks to Wang Tuo and others.

The three of Wang Tuo tried their best, but this first experiment couldn't be completed.

This first experiment is just a repetitive experiment, and you don't need any ideas of your own, just a step-by-step experiment.

It's not that the three of them have never suspected that the experimental method or steps are biased, but this article published in Nature, the experimental steps written in black and white, can't be wrong!

"Senior Brother Wang Tuo, it doesn't matter what the result of the experiment is. What I want is your entire experiment process, and I need you to record every step of the experiment in detail."

Jing Xiaoran smiled slightly, of course he knew that the experiment could not be completed.

As long as the experiment is carried out according to the steps written in Professor Piero Anversa's paper, there will be no results.

"Xiao Ran, we have recorded the experiment process in detail. But... But our repeated experiments have not been completed..."

Wang Tuo and the others don't quite understand what Jing Xiaoran means, do experiments without looking at the results?
What kind of operation is this? !

"Senior brother, don't worry, I have my own plan." Jing Xiaoran smiled, "You should record the steps of this experiment in detail, list the reactions of each step of the experiment, and then send it to my email."

"it is good!"

Seeing what Jing Xiaoran said, Wang Tuo could only nod in agreement.

However, he still felt a little guilty towards Jing Xiaoran in his heart, after all, the first experiment was messed up by the three of them.

Jing Xiaoran didn't care what Wang Tuo and the others thought. What he needs most now is all the steps of this experiment. As long as he has this real experimental data, his plan can start!

With a trace of guilt in their hearts, Wang Tuo and the others quickly sorted out the experimental steps.

In less than a day, they sorted out the real experimental steps of myocardial stem cell transplantation, but the result of this experiment was completely opposite to the result of Professor Piero Anversa's paper.
