Cheng Jing
Cheng Jing, umuhanga mu bya siyansi ufite itsinda ryakoze "chip" ya mbere ya ADN mu Bushinwa yo gupima SARS mu myaka 17 ishize, arimo kugira uruhare runini mu kurwanya icyorezo cya COVID-19.
Mu gihe kitarenze icyumweru kimwe, yayoboye itsinda ryateguye agakoresho kashoboraga gupima icyarimwe virusi esheshatu z'ubuhumekero, harimo na COVID-19, no guhaza ibyifuzo byihutirwa byo gusuzuma indwara.
Yavutse mu 1963, Cheng, perezida w’ikigo cya leta gishinzwe ubumenyi bw’ibinyabuzima CapitalBio Corp, ni wungirije mu Nteko Ishinga Amategeko y’Igihugu y’Abaturage akaba n’umuhanga mu by’ubumenyi bw’ishuri ry’Abashinwa ry’Ubwubatsi.
Raporo ya Science and Technology Daily ivuga ko ku ya 31 Mutarama, Cheng yahamagawe na Zhong Nanshan, impuguke ikomeye mu ndwara z’ubuhumekero, ku byerekeye indwara nshya ya coronavirus pneumonia.
Zhong yamubwiye ingorane ziri mu bitaro zijyanye no gupima aside nucleique.
Ibimenyetso bya COVID-19 n'ibicurane birasa, byatumye isuzuma ryimbitse rirushaho kuba ingenzi.
Gutahura vuba virusi kugira ngo abarwayi bahabwe ubuvuzi burambuye no kugabanya ubwandu ni ingenzi cyane mu kurwanya icyorezo.
Mu by’ukuri, Cheng yari yaramaze gushinga itsinda ryo gukora ubushakashatsi ku isuzuma rya coronavirus nshya mbere yuko Zhong amuhamagara.
Mu ntangiriro, Cheng yayoboye itsinda ryaturutse muri Kaminuza ya Tsinghua n'isosiyete kugira ngo bagume muri laboratwari ku manywa na nijoro, bakoresha buri munota mu gukora chip nshya ya ADN n'igikoresho cyo gupima.
Muri icyo gihe, Cheng yakundaga kurya amakaroni ako kanya. Yazanaga imizigo ye buri munsi kugira ngo yitegure kujya mu "rugamba" mu yindi mijyi.
“Byadutwaye ibyumweru bibiri kugira ngo dukore utubumbe twa ADN twa SARS mu 2003. Kuri iyi nshuro, twamaze igihe kitarenze icyumweru,” Cheng yagize ati.
“Iyo tudashoboye kubona ubunararibonye bwinshi twakusanyije mu myaka ishize ndetse n’inkunga ihoraho ituruka mu gihugu muri uru rwego, ntitwari kurangiza ubutumwa vuba cyane.”
Iyi chip yakoreshejwe mu gupima virusi ya SARS yatwaye amasaha atandatu kugira ngo ibone ibisubizo. Ubu, iyi chip nshya y’iyi sosiyete ishobora gupima virusi 19 z’ubuhumekero icyarimwe mu isaha imwe n’igice.
Nubwo itsinda ryagabanyije igihe cyo gukora ubushakashatsi no guteza imbere chip n'igikoresho cyo gupima, inzira yo kwemeza ntiyorohejwe kandi ubunyangamugayo ntibwagabanutse na gato.
Cheng yahamagaye ibitaro bine kugira ngo bipimwe, mu gihe ibipimo ngenderwaho by’inganda ari bitatu.
Cheng yagize ati: “Dufite ituze kurusha uko twari dusanzwe duhanganye n’icyorezo. Ugereranyije no mu 2003, imikorere yacu mu bushakashatsi, ireme ry’ibicuruzwa ndetse n’ubushobozi bwo kubitunganya byose byarushijeho kuba byiza cyane.”
Ku itariki ya 22 Gashyantare, ibikoresho byakozwe n'itsinda byemejwe n'Ikigo cy'Igihugu gishinzwe Ibikoresho by'Ubuvuzi kandi byakoreshejwe vuba ku rugamba.
Ku ya 2 Werurwe, Perezida Xi Jinping yasuye umujyi wa Beijing kugira ngo arebe niba hari uburyo bwo kurwanya icyorezo no kukirinda mu buryo bwa siyansi. Cheng yatanze raporo y'iminota 20 ku ikoreshwa ry'ikoranabuhanga rishya mu gukumira icyorezo ndetse n'ibyagezweho mu bushakashatsi ku bikoresho byo gupima virusi.
Isosiyete ishamikiye kuri CapitalBio Corp yashinzwe mu 2000, CapitalBio Technology yari iherereye mu gace k’iterambere ry’ubukungu n’ikoranabuhanga rya Beijing, cyangwa Beijing E-Town.
Ibigo bigera kuri 30 byo muri ako gace byitabiriye mu buryo butaziguye kurwanya icyorezo binyuze mu guteza imbere no gukora ibikoresho nk'imashini zihumeka, robo zikusanya amaraso, imashini zisukura amaraso, ibikoresho byo gupima ikoranabuhanga n'imiti.
Mu nama ebyiri z'uyu mwaka, Cheng yatanze igitekerezo cy'uko igihugu cyakwihutisha ishyirwaho ry'urusobe rw'ibitekerezo ku ndwara zikomeye zandura, rushobora kohereza vuba amakuru yerekeye icyorezo n'abarwayi ku nzego zibishinzwe.
Igihe cyo kohereza ubutumwa: Kamena-12-2020
