v2 Chapter 600: major discovery (2/2)
Even the earth can wander, what can't be repaired?
Therefore, as a schoolmaster with a system, in Qin Luo's concept, there seems to be nothing serious...
”Fu Yuan, what is the big deal?” Qin Luo said slowly.
”What's the matter?” Hearing Qin Luo's question, Fu Zhendong showed a proud smile on his face, and said: ”We, Academician Tu Youyou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have new discoveries!”
Yep?
Qin Luo couldn't help but stand in awe.
Tu Youyou is a respectable scientist. Since her discovery of artemisinin, it has been regarded as the most effective and uncomplicated medicine for treating malaria and has saved millions of lives so far.
Winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Lasker Prize in Clinical Medicine, and Life Science Achievement Prize...
The honors and trophies he won are enough to fill a room.
In front of her, Qin Luo was nothing but a small shrimp.
”What's the discovery?” Qin Luo asked curiously.
Fu Zhendong did not rush to answer, but smiled and asked, ”Although artemisinin is the most effective treatment for malaria, does Qin Luo know why many people in the world still die of malaria every year?”
”why?”
”Because last year's World Malaria Report showed that malaria parasites are resistant to artemisinin.” Fu Zhendong said.
Yes, it is drug resistance.
Almost every drug will develop resistance, but some are strong and some are weak.
But no one thought that the malaria parasite's resistance to artemisinin would be outrageous.
