798: Chapter 794 Drug Experiment

798 -794 Drug Experiment

In the laboratory, Chen Yu greeted the researchers who were busy at work; they were all University of Tokyo Medical School graduates recruited during the last broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug experiment.

Now, positions in Chen Yu’s research group were highly coveted, and apart from direct descendants of the University of Tokyo Medical School, it was difficult for outsiders to squeeze in.

These existing members, having enjoyed the honor of participating in the research of the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug, saw their resumes shine with added luster, making them cherish their status even more.

Because everyone knew that if they could stay in this research group, when Chen Yu would be honored with the Nobel Prize in Medicine, that status would become their greatest glory and pride for a lifetime, as well as the most valuable line on their resumes.

By that time, whether they chose to continue working as researchers or leave the group for better opportunities, they would receive superior treatment.

However, after the success in developing the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug, Chen Yu’s visits to the laboratory had decreased, as his research focus had shifted to his own laboratory, and this place was merely for conducting routine research topics he had assigned.

Though these topics had academic value, their importance was inevitably diminished.

But today, Chen Yu suddenly broke the norm and appeared at the lab near the end of the workday with an air of excitement, clutching a document as he hastened to the experiment table, creating an unusual atmosphere among the researchers.

Several researchers, who should have left on time, stayed voluntarily, and they whispered excitedly and exchanged glances, eagerly adjusting their state in anticipation of Chen Yu’s upcoming instructions, hoping to be remembered by him.

Chen Yu paid no mind to these small gestures from the researchers; he simply took out the sample of the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug and the culture dishes previously kept in this lab, and asked Tashiro Nanaori to fetch him a sample of tumor cells.

“Professor, are you conducting an experiment?” Tashiro Nanaori, who had fetched the needed sample of tumor cells for Chen Yu, stood beside him, asking curiously while inadvertently glancing at the document Chen Yu had placed on the experimental table.

Chen Yu noticed Tashiro Nanaori’s subtle behavior, but he casually remarked, “The Regenerative Medicine Laboratory has some new findings.

The new drug I had instructed them to study has shown promising results, so I had some new ideas I wanted to verify.”

Chen Yu didn’t see the need to hide anything from Tashiro Nanaori.

On one hand, she was part of his research team, so there was no need for secrecy.

On the other hand, since he and Jounouchi Hiromi had taken down Old Man Tashiro, the Tashiro Family, under Qingdai’s influence, had become part of the Mingyue Society.

Tashiro Nanaori now was one of Chen Yu’s subordinates, aware of his true identity, and even carried a title in Chen Yu’s private laboratory, so there truly was no need for any secrecy with her anymore.

Tashiro Nanaori nodded in understanding; she was aware of the research tasks being carried out at the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory under Chen Yu’s instructions.

Moreover, as a member of the Tashiro Family, Tashiro Nanaori knew that in that laboratory, there were Transcendents recruited through the Tashiro Family participating in the research at Chen Yu’s behest.

Many of these individuals were Transcendents who had professionally studied medicine.

Although they were not high level or powerful, they had some ideas and experiences in combining modern medical technology with ancient transcendent healing techniques.

Thus, in terms of research progress, the massively superior capabilities here made it no surprise to Tashiro Nanaori that they were producing results.

As Chen Yu and Tashiro Nanaori were talking, Chen Yu’s hands were not idle, quickly starting the cultivation of the sample, and at this point, someone from the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory arrived with the new drug sample that Chen Yu had called them to deliver.

Upon receiving the sample, Chen Yu immediately and excitedly placed it on the experimental platform, almost overjoyed by the urge to try out his new idea right away.

If it weren’t for the presence of several regular researchers, Chen Yu might have directly employed the techniques of the Necromancer.

However, he managed to control his excitement very well and started conducting the experiment methodically.

In fact, Chen Yu’s new idea was not complicated; he simply wanted to combine the advantages of two drugs.

The broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug was a modification he made based on the Necromantic Potion, altered to target only tumor cells, inhibiting their activity.

The new drug delivered by the laboratory was developed and refined based on the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug.

It lacked the tumor cell recognition capability and could only destroy tumor cells at a certain dosage.

However, exceeding a specific amount would trigger a contact inhibition response in all cells, halting division and causing the organism’s death.

If the new drug’s ability to destroy tumor cells and its capacity to trigger contact inhibition in them were combined with the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug, enabling it to selectively inhibit tumor cell activity and cause their destruction through contact suppression, then this drug would genuinely be the cancer-targeting medication Chen Yu originally wanted to develop for all tumor cells.

Of course, the process could be reversed, combining the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug’s properties, specific only to cancer cells, with the new drug, eliminating its side effects on normal cells.

Such a drug would also be a perfect medication for treating cancer.

Now, Chen Yu needed to analyze the new drug from the Regenerative Medicine Laboratory and also wait for the tumor cell sample to cultivate to a certain extent.

Soon, it was time to leave work, yet no one in the laboratory showed any sign of wanting to go home.

One of the researchers approached Tashiro Nanaori and whispered to her, “Dr.

Tashiro, should we plan for dinner?”

“As for dinner…” Tashiro Nanaori, upon hearing the researcher’s question and just about to answer, was preempted by Chen Yu, who said, “Those who can leave should go now; those who want to stay and help can have dinner in the canteen.

We might work through the night, so be prepared for overtime.

Nanao, help me order a boxed meal.”

“Yes, Professor!” Tashiro Nanaori, upon hearing Chen Yu’s directive, responded and gave the researcher beside her a look that said “you heard him.” She then turned and told the other researchers, “Go ahead and have dinner, everyone.

We’ll have a busy night!”
