BGI Yin Ye: Prevention Is The Core Of Future Big Health Industry Development

"From SARS in 2003 to the new coronapneumonia epidemic in 2020, the greatest progress of mankind is the speed of pathogen discovery. During SARS, it took us half a year to find out that this is a virus, not a pathogen or chlamydia. It is a coronavirus with high risk of death. This year, it took only two weeks to identify the new coronavirus On September 26, Yin ye, CEO of Shenzhen Huada gene Co., Ltd., said at the "2020 China big health industry summit" sponsored by the 21st century economic report.

"I have been involved in these two battles for 18 years, and I deeply understand how important public health is to human society." Yin ye said in his speech.

As for China's success in fighting the epidemic, he concluded that, in addition to China's strong social mobilization ability, it has mainly achieved three points: determining the source of infection, protecting key populations, and cutting off transmission routes.

And these three steps are derived from Koch's law more than 100 years ago, and around this principle, it is also the general rule of how to deal with every new infectious disease. In terms of DNA sequencing and DNA sequencing, it is necessary to ensure the detection of pathogens and genes in the laboratory.

Yin ye said that in the process of fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic, we have finally understood: if China is good, the world will be better. This is a community of common destiny, whether it is an economic community or a community of life. When the earth is good, China will be good and everyone will be good. When it comes to shipping, commerce, resumption of classes and international trade, we understand that home and the world are very important. In the anti epidemic work of docking countries, we have learned that many times they do not lack nucleic acid detection reagents, what they lack is nucleic acid detection ability.

Yin ye said that at the beginning of the outbreak of Xinguan pneumonia, detection kits were in short supply. For China's strong manufacturing capacity, the output of nucleic acid kits could reach 100000 copies a day, and even 10 million copies in two days. The tension in the production of kits could be alleviated quickly, but the nucleic acid detection ability is a service industry, which needs professional talents and needs time to cultivate Strength is the real challenge.

It's like buying 100 machines, he says, but it takes decades to train doctors who know how to use ECMO machines. When turning industrial products into service industries, we should take into account the country's inside information and the ability of a company to establish its own service system.

The prevention and control of new crown pneumonia is the first time that human beings have used molecular biological detection technology on a large scale. This is a human renaissance of life science. It was hard to talk about nucleic acids and genes before, which was difficult for us to understand. But did you say "nucleic acid" when you met today?

Yin Ye believes that prevention is the core of the future development of big health industry.

He pointed out that 84% of the total health investment of the vast majority of Chinese people is spent in the last eight months of their lives, and before that, no one should take it seriously. But the essence of health management is human management. Can we eat less, move more and give more hugs to our families?
