Lead: Many people think that opportunities are rare, so many people spend precious time waiting for opportunities. In fact, if you have extraordinary courage, wise mind and hard-working hands, you can also create opportunities.
"We often hear that someone died of liver cancer, not because there was no money, but because it was discovered too late. This is because the characteristics of the liver make the lesions difficult to find. " In order to explain clearly to China Youth Daily reporter, Dr. Sun Jin, one of the founders of haskell Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and Dr. Tsinghua specially prepared a PPT, one of which was marked: liver, an important but silent organ.
Born in 1985, the doctor of automation department often invites the audience to try FibroTouch, the world's leading noninvasive liver health monitoring product, at various academic seminars. Lie down and scan the probe, and you can get the data in two minutes, which is helpful to judge the health of the tested liver.
Looking back, Sun Jin thought about it for a long time, but still felt that he didn't seem to encounter any obstacles: he had challenges, but he wouldn't go to school. If there is a problem, he will solve it and never stop. "We want to be a leading medical technology company in the health field." He said.
Doctoral entrepreneurship "Three Musketeers"
Sun Jin, from a teacher's family in Shanxi, is a typical "child of others": 12 years old studied in a key middle school and won many awards in the national mathematics and chemistry Olympic competition; 15 years old, admitted to the Department of Automation of Tsinghua University, and went all the way to the doctor.
In Tsinghua, Sun Jin, who is younger than her classmates, never feels lonely. He met Shao Jinhua and Duan in 15, and he has been two important partners in his life and career since then. Many years later, at his best friend's wedding, Sun Jin joked with the bride: We have known him much longer than you.
In 2003, at the suggestion of Shao Jinhua, the three men began to pay close attention to the instantaneous elastic imaging technology that Tsinghua University's team led the international research. Shao Jinhua hopes to use this technology to help detect liver diseases.
The liver can repair itself, but when the damage speed is greater than the repair speed, the liver will become harder and harder, fibrosis and sclerosis, and eventually develop into liver cancer. If the treatment is found in time, the process of liver disease developing into liver cancer can be delayed or even blocked. At present, the commonly used detection method is biopsy puncture, that is, part of liver tissue is extracted by puncture for examination, which is "not only invasive, but also impossible to recheck in a short time". What Sun Jin and his colleagues did was send sound waves to the liver. A healthy liver is as soft as lips. As it hardens, it will gradually become as hard as the tip of the nose and as hard as the forehead. The harder the liver, the faster and slower the sound waves run.
In the doctoral stage, three young people chose different research directions: Sun Jin focused on algorithms, Duan studied hardware, and Shao Jinhua studied biomedical engineering. Different directions cooperate with each other, which is a good team to solve problems. In 2008, Sun Jin followed his tutor to do scientific research in an American laboratory, Shao Jinhua went to Germany for exchange, and Duan stayed in Tsinghua. The time difference between the three places is exactly 6 hours. At the appointed time, whether at noon, late at night or early in the morning, the conversation windows of the three computers will light up at the same time. At this point, the three doctors have made up their minds: starting a business.
The reason for making this choice is the unanimous judgment of the three engineering male on "what is the measure": value. I have this technology, which can solve problems and is challenging. Why not do it?
From top student to entrepreneurs, from 0 to 1
Sun Jin is in a team without procrastination at all. He likes to have an inert life. Until now, he used to get up at 6 o'clock, work until 8 o'clock in the evening, and go home after work with the yellow light of the traffic in Beijing's North Fourth Ring Road. Just like many years ago, he rode his bike from the old dormitory building at 13 to the main building in Tsinghua every day according to the familiar route, and then went back by the same route. Sometimes there is too much homework, and the dormitory lights out. I don't want to delay, so I have to drag a bench to the corridor to finish the rest by lighting.
On 20/0/0, haskell Medical Technology Co., Ltd. was established, with bases in Wuxi, the birthplace of ultrasound in Beijing and China. The research partner became a partner. Shao Jinhua is the CEO, responsible for decision-making; Duan is responsible for the operation of the company; Sun Jin, chief technology officer, is responsible for R&D and production technical support. Shao Jinhua's mentor, Bai Jing, an international expert in biomedical engineering, is a team consultant.
R&D is focused and arduous, "without reference, even the route can't be seen". For technical boys, all problems have their own system to solve, and what tests them more is the change from scientific research team to product team.
More about catching up. They are unfamiliar with the medical field, and clinical testing and quality system are unfamiliar words. Sun Jin and others carried machines and ran to 20 hospitals to talk to doctors. Medical experts are very friendly to these high flyers's consultations. In fact, doctors are looking forward to the emergence of reliable domestic equipment.
Familiarity with business is another step. On 20 12, Sun Jin took part in a special postgraduate course of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management. Students who choose courses need to undergo strict screening before they can finally enter the classroom. Here, they learn everything necessary to establish a new company, including how to manage finances and what legal provisions need to be applied. At the end of the course, the two teams can publicly summarize their defense. Not only teachers, but also investors from all walks of life. Heiskell is one of them.
As if it were natural, the day after the defense ended, he got the news that he had been waiting for more than three years and obtained the medical device registration certificate issued by the US Food and Drug Administration. At the end of 20 12, Haskell was granted a round of financing.
20 13 in may, Tsinghua University and Beijing municipal science and technology commission organized a special appraisal meeting. As a key project of Beijing Natural Science Foundation, Heiskell passed the appraisal and was highly praised by the participating experts. Later, the team brought in another important partner, Ms. Han Xiao, who has rich experience in the medical field, and built a strong marketing team for Haskell. In August, FibroTouch was mass-produced. After the product went on the market, it ranked first in the industry, and most of the users were hospitals above grade three. Innovating China 20 14 Finals, FibroTouch won the Demo Prize as a national champion when facing leaders from all walks of life in China.
Sun Jin's laziness is often attacked by a busy schedule. He began to deal with people more and more, and one day he even traveled to three cities. However, there are still some unchanging habits. On a busy Friday, several partners will drink beer, eat kebabs and talk about the distant and very clear future at the barbecue stall downstairs of the rental house.
"Shanzhai" Crime and Confidence Made in China
Sun Jin and his partner started working in an office of 10 square meter in Tsinghua Science Park. As the team grew, they moved to a bigger workshop on the 8th floor, with the whole glass overlooking the Science Park and the main building in Tsinghua University.
New products are constantly coming out, which meet the needs of different types of hospitals. The friendly cooperation of doctors is very helpful. "When it comes to manufacturing in China, they think of shanzhai and inferior quality. High-quality manufacturing in China in the medical field is rare, and they are not reconciled."
The lawsuit suddenly came, and the "charge" was "shanzhai".
At that time, in the global market, in addition to Hayes Kyle and Fu Rui's other China companies One Body Medical and French Echosens, there were other companies producing similar products.
