Ding Yue dialed a call to President Jiang Zhongbo of Mist City Central Hospital.
Perhaps he was busy, didn’t have his phone with him, or the phone was on silent because he was in a meeting.
After all, a person of President Jiang Zhongbo’s status probably has meetings as part of his daily routine.
After a while, Ding Yue dialed a call to President Jiang Zhongbo’s office.
"Hello, this is the President’s office at Mist City Central Hospital." The person who picked up the call was obviously not President Jiang Zhongbo.
"Hello, this is Ding Yue, the Principal of the Mist City Arts and Science University. I’m looking for Dean Jiang. Is he around?"
Ding Yue asked politely.
"Oh, Dean Jiang has an important meeting today and he should still be in it."
Having learned that President Jiang Zhongbo was in a meeting, Ding Yue decided it would be inappropriate to disturb him.
He would contact Dean Jiang later. After all, Ding Yue was looking to borrow some human resources from him. He was interested in professors of Biomedical Engineering. Given Mist City Central Hospital’s size, they should have such talents.
Ding Yue needed experts in Biomedical Engineering to solve the problems related to the materials needed for printing tissues and organs with a 3D bioprinter.
In the future, the 3D bioprinting project might collaborate with Mist City Central Hospital, making it the first large-scale hospital globally to use 3D bioprinters to print tissues and organs for surgical operations.
Of course, achieving this requires many steps and approvals.
It also involves clinical trials and national approvals for the tissues and organs printed by the 3D bioprinter.
"Wen Ruohan, let’s go. We’ll meet Principal Xu at the campus entrance."
After putting away his phone, Ding Yue stood up, ready to head to the campus entrance.
If they walked from the Administration Building, it would take about ten to twenty minutes if they walked slowly. By then, Principal Xu Dongcheng should be arriving.
Wen Ruohan immediately followed Principal Ding.
Just as Ding Yue left the Administration Building, a call from President Jiang Zhongbo came in.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yue hurriedly answered the phone, "Hello, President Jiang."
"Principal Ding, you were looking for me? I just finished a meeting, so I missed your call earlier." The familiar voice of President Jiang Zhongbo made Ding Yue feel a bit of warmth.
"Yes, President Jiang, I have a matter at hand. Our medical school in Mist City Arts and Science University, along with other departments, is preparing to undertake a project on 3D bioprinting technology. We already have some relevant technology, but there are some difficulties that need addressing. I was wondering if you could help."
Ding Yue briefly explained the situation to President Jiang Zhongbo.
Dean Jiang was not an outsider. He knew that Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Sciences University was full of creativity. Their previous project on a medical robot called Big White was a good example.
"3D Bioprinting technology? That’s a very advanced biomedical technology in the world. What difficulties are you facing, Principal Ding?" President Jiang Zhongbo was slightly surprised when he heard of it.
He didn’t expect Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University to have such abundant talents that they could research cutting-edge biomedical technologies so quickly.
"We have the equipment and technology, but we’re not sure whether your hospital has experts knowledgeable in the materials required for 3D bioprinting."
Ding Yue asked, hoping for an answer.
"In the field of Biomedical Engineering, we do have several experts at Mist City Central Hospital. If you want, I can arrange for them to assist your school. After all, further development in Biomedical Engineering will greatly impact the medical field."
President Jiang Zhongbo, as the head of Mist City Central Hospital, naturally recognizes the importance of Biomedical Engineering in 3D bioprinting technology.
"Thank you very much, Dean Jiang." Ding Yue felt grateful seeing Dean Jiang promptly agreeing to help.
"No need for thanks, Principal Ding. It’s commendable that your university is investing in cutting-edge Biomedical Engineering research . However, as far as I know, Biomedical Engineering involved in 3D bioprinting technology should be quite difficult to research, right?"
President Jiang Zhongbo was quite pleased with Principal Ding Yue’s initiative.
In our country, only academies of science and major universities related to medicine can conduct cutting-edge technology research in the field of Biomedical Engineering.
"Yes, it is quite difficult. But numerous Biomedical companies worldwide are researching 3D bioprinting technology. Standing on the shoulders of such researchers, we certainly have an advantage."
Ding Yue said modestly.
"Oh, Principal Ding, I remember reading an article a long time ago. It was about Biomedical materials... let me think... it was in a book that mentioned a Chinese expert in biological science..." President Jiang Zhongbo suddenly remembered something, but he wasn’t clear.
"Dean Jiang, are you saying that there’s a Chinese expert in the field of Biomedical materials?" Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately questioned.
"Let me think for a moment. I might still be able to find that book and find out the expert’s name. With age, sometimes my memory isn’t as sharp."
Dean Jiang Zhongbo confessed with a hint of helplessness.
"Don’t worry about it, Dean Jiang. And you are not old at all." Ding Yue said with a smile.
