(Express delivery of the two sessions) Chen Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested: Build a National Technology Innovation Center for Vaccine
China News Service, Beijing, March 7 (Reporter Zheng Qiao) Chen Wei, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the Institute of Bioengineering of the Academy of Military Medicine of the Academy of Military Sciences, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, proposed in Beijing on the 7th to build a national technological innovation center for special-needed vaccines. Contribute to national biosecurity and social stability.
The Fourth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held a speech on the morning of the meeting. Chen Wei pointed out in her speech that only by mastering key core technologies can we fundamentally guarantee economic and social development, long-term stability of the country, and people's life and health.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the draft of the 2035 long-term goal outline, which are being reviewed by the National People's Congress, put the insistence on innovation-driven development in an unprecedentedly important position, and at the same time put forward the long-term goal of building a "healthy China" by 2035.
Chen Wei pointed out that to promote the implementation of the proposed goals, there are still some shortcomings in biotechnology innovation, including insufficient top-level design and scientific coordination, scattered research forces, unsound long-term support mechanisms, unstable basic research, and conditions. The facilities are not perfect, the quick response system is not perfect, etc.
To this end, Chen Wei puts forward four suggestions:
1. Establish a “white list” system for major national safety and technological breakthroughs.
Give full play to the advantages of the new nationwide system, promote the optimal allocation of scientific research forces and resource sharing, and systematically plan the layout of major projects in major frontier areas such as life, health and biosafety.
2. To build a national technological innovation center for special-needed vaccines.
Keeping close to the major national needs for biosecurity defense, sorting out "stuck neck" and "long board" technologies, strengthening top-level design and scientific coordination, and launching cross-military, cross-field, and cross-disciplinary collaborative innovation and open cooperation to achieve "known Means, unknown and capable", help national biosecurity and social stability.
3. Continue to carry out scientific research on the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic.
Comprehensive use of biotechnology, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other innovative methods to further clarify the origin of the virus, animal host and pathogenic mechanism, in-depth analysis of the impact of virus mutation on existing prevention and control measures, take precautions, and carry out targeting important mutant strains Pre-research of vaccines, nucleic acids and antibody detection reagents, etc., should be updated in time when necessary.
4. Create a good scientific research ecology with great concentration on basic research.
Increase policy support for scientists and research personnel who have been on the "cold bench" for a long time to engage in scientific research and basic research.
