503 Biological cloud big data [1]
Zhou Yujie nodded and said: "The biomedicine field will be one of the directions, but Toutiao will not enter this industry directly, but will support potential enterprises or colleges through investment and sponsorship."
Li Jiwen continued to ask: "Which part would you prefer in the field of biomedicine?"
Zhou Yujie said: "Which diseases that are seriously threatening lives, I will invest my funds in which field. The most will naturally be the cancer field. In China, there are less than 10 million normal deaths every year, and more than one-third of them die from cancer. This is a nightmare for countless ordinary people. Many families may even lose both people and money. My mutual protection and Shuidichou are all trying to help these people, but these can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If you want to solve this problem, you can only overcome cancer."
Li Jiwen asked: "Mr. Zhou, the current global cancer treatment plan is basically proposed by internationally renowned pharmaceutical groups. The research and development of anti-cancer drugs not only involves a lot of funds and time, but also requires a lot of talents. This large-scale teamwork is probably only possible to succeed if you set up a professional team myself."
Zhou Yujie shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you overestimate me. Even if I spend money on building a team at all costs, it is impossible to succeed. If it is so easy, the pharmaceutical field will not be monopolized by such a giant company for decades.
In the words of the Internet, it is basically impossible to surpass others in a mature field. In the non-Internet industry, there may be a little possibility, but it will take more than ten years or even decades of investment.
Only Hyundai, a car giant brand after World War II, has squeezed into the top ten in the world with the full support of the South Korean government, and the threshold for the biotechnology field is much higher than that of automobiles."
"What does Mr. Zhou mean?" Li Jiwen didn't understand, and the two horses on the side were also listening carefully.
Zhou Yujie said: "Cancer is actually not difficult to treat in the early stages. The problem is that when many cancers are discovered, they are already in the late stages. This is very fatal. Even a super rich man may have the same outcome when he encounters cancer.
The difficulty of conquering advanced cancer is at the hell level, so we can reversely study how to discover them in the early stage or teach ordinary people how to avoid them. This may be more important and it is much simpler to develop. Of course, this simplicity is also relative. In fact, how to quickly detect early cancer is also a difficult problem."
Li Jiwen asked: "So Zhou is always ready to invest his money in the field of how to detect early cancer?"
Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "This is one of them, but what I want to do more is to count the rules of cancer. Just like all of us know that smoking is prone to cancer, but some people can't smoke, while others can't smoke. Generally speaking, everyone says this is a probability problem, but I think this may have certain rules, which may be related to genetic genes, daily life habits, and work or living environment. What I want to do is to collect enough data as much as possible to conduct more detailed analysis."
Li Jiwen asked: "Can Mr. Zhou explain in detail?"
Zhou Yujie said: "The International Anti-Cancer Alliance believes that one-third of cancer can be prevented, one-third of cancer can be cured if it can be diagnosed in an early stage, and one-third of cancer can relieve pain and prolong life.
The last 1/3 can only be decided by medical technology and whether the patients have money. In the first 2/3, there is actually no practical solution. Even the International Anti-Cancer Alliance, they can only recommend that people love sports, not overeat and be obese, not get in contact with chemicals, etc.
But these promotional remarks are very effective because their voices are limited in scope, and even if they are known, many people will not take them seriously. These things are too empty and no one knows how to deal with this matter correctly, because people cannot remember these things at all times, and they cannot really be able to operate like this. It can only be said that they are probabilistically paying attention to these issues.
But if we can have enough data, we can analyze what the rules are there for people who get cancer, how many of their family relationships and relatives also have cancer, or similar non-cancer diseases, will cancer patients have anything to do with their working environment, and what is the chance of getting cancer in a specific environment?
There is also daily living habits, which are difficult to digitize. You may only have traditional methods, such as whether you like exercise, whether you smoke, whether you stay up late, whether you overeat, your own weight, and other factors.
When we have tens of millions of cancer patients, after these information are cleared and the data is formed, I think there is a high probability that we can discover many rules that we didn’t know before and then make more accurate algorithms.
Of course, I will also invite a large number of medical personnel to participate in this project. In fact, many medical institutions and medical schools in China or abroad have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to study why people get cancer and how they get cancer? But they have data but do not have strong data analysis capabilities. I think in the future, we can also cooperate with a large number of medical institutions to study the scientific and technological laws in this area together."
After listening to it, Li Jiwen pondered for a while and didn't know what to say, so he asked Ma Yun and Ma Huateng and said, "What do you think about the two Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhou?"
Ma Huateng thought for a while and said, "I don't understand biomedical very much, so I dare not draw this conclusion."
Ma Yun said: "I think Mr. Zhou's idea is very good. I don't understand biomedicine. I don't even understand the Internet. But I think that everything has mathematical laws, and our human body and various diseases are the same. We must have a set of logic, but because there are too many data and too scattered, it is difficult to analyze. If we can really analyze it, it is definitely a great blessing for human beings."
Zhou Yujie also smiled and said, "Yes, just like a question that many people have always said, why does someone not get cancer when smoking, some people cannot get liver cancer when drinking, and some people cannot get liver cancer when drinking, and some people have these two types of cancer when not smoking. Many people know that this is actually a matter of probability, but what I want to know is, what is the probability of this? What kind of cigarettes are more likely to get cancer or corresponding lung diseases, or what frequency of smoking habits will affect the results.
Or how much impact is there on other factors? If we can discover some rules through a large amount of data, then perhaps we can not only get the probability of a person getting sick, but also cooperate with government departments to propose solutions to some causes that are prone to cancer.
I personally think that if we only analyze the relationship between smoking and lung cancer and let us find more information, theoretically, at least the probability of cancer among smoking patients, or even the probability of cancer in ordinary people, can be reduced in the data."
Li Jiwen paused for a moment and said, "Sorry, I don't know what to ask?"
Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know what to say anymore. I have this idea, but this idea is actually not mature, and it may even be very naive to professionals, but I think the most important thing for us entrepreneurs is to take risks and try.
So I want to take advantage of today's opportunity to officially announce the establishment of the Biocloud Big Data Project. The purpose of this project is to use big data to analyze the causes of all serious diseases and study this issue from the perspective of genetics, environment, and living habits.
Because this project involves too many factors, I invite Internet companies, data analysts, and major medical institutions across the country to participate. However, I declare in advance that this project is a permanent non-profit project, and the companies involved will not be paid, and individual participants will pay our salaries.”
