4月29日上午，“引领城市年轻力”临沂市纪念五四运动106周年暨青年发展型城市主题宣讲交流活动在临沂大学沂蒙大讲堂盛大举行。临沂大学党委书记王焕良，市委副书记戚军，市委常委、市委宣传部部长、教育工委书记张晓彬，临沂大学党委副书记崔晓红，市委组织部副部长、市委人才发展服务中心主任李玉法，团市委书记程志强等领导以及市青年工作联席会议成员单位的有关负责同志，各县区（开发区）团（工）委书记，各领域优秀青年代表齐聚一堂，共同参与并见证了这场青春盛会。 图为活动现场 罗欣药业集团董事长兼CEO刘振腾作为青年企业家代表出席活动，并在“新时代青年说”环节以“创新转型的破局者”身份，向全市青年分享了他带领本土药企创新发展的奋进之路。 关于如何平衡个人理想与传承责任，他这样说道：“罗欣药业自1988年创立至今已37个年头，我们始终秉承‘传递健康’使命，致力于为百姓提供可及的创新药物。我的理想是让身边人远离病痛，而父亲创建的企业为我提供了实现梦想的土壤。尽管创新药的研发与上市充满了挑战，但是为了实现理想，也为了更好地传承，我坚定地选择了这条更难的道路。历经十年研发的1.1类创新药泰欣赞®于三年前在国内上市，成为山东省第一个化学一类新药。今年一季度，企业凭借创新药产品的优异市场表现成功实现扭亏为盈，这充分印证了创新转型战略对企业可持续发展的核心价值”。 图为罗欣药业集团董事长刘振腾接受采访 关于企业将如何在“新质生产力”的浪潮中把握机遇并实现企业发展目标 ，刘振腾董事长表示，罗欣药业正以创新药为核心，加速新动能培育。未来2-3年，公司普卡那肽等3款创新药有望在国内获批上市，从而进一步满足中国患者的临床需求。 不仅如此，他还带领罗欣药业全面推进人才战略升级，通过不断强化年轻化、专业化的团队建设，持续提升团队的“年轻力”“创造力”，从而全面提升企业核心竞争力，助力企业创新、高效、可持续发展。 刘振腾董事长“以创新驱动发展”“以责任回馈社会”的躬身实践，充分展现了新时代青年在传承中创新、在责任中成长的使命与担当，也激励着所有罗欣青年奋发向上，勇于筑梦！

近日，山东省科学技术厅发布《关于批准山东省重点实验室（第一批）筹建的通知》， 罗欣药业集团股份有限公司（股票代码：002793.SZ，以下简称“罗欣药业”）获批建设山东省消化系统疾病小分子靶向药物重点实验室（以下简称“省重点实验室”），成功跻身山东省“1313”实验室体系。 这是罗欣药业在统筹推进高层次科研平台建设、推动产学研深度融合的又一项重要阶段性成果。 图：省重点实验室批复文件 省重点实验室由罗欣药业牵头，与临沂大学、沈阳药科大学联合共建，集聚国际一流的人才团队，围绕 消化系统疾病领域个体化治疗、靶向治疗、药物耐药性等临床瓶颈， 重点开展小分子靶向药物的发现及化合物筛选、药物设计和合成工艺、临床转化和智能制造产业化应用、质量控制与评价等研究，“十四五”期间重点攻克小分子靶向药物的基础、应用研究及开发难题，中长期争取建成国际领先的消化系统疾病小分子靶向药物实验室。 未来，罗欣药业将以此次省重点实验室认定为契机，持续深化科技创新和成果转化，推动源头科技创新转化为新质生产力，赋能生物医药产业高质量发展。

Palaeontologists discover molecular evidence of phaeomelanin, the pigment that produces ginger coloration. Phaeomelanin is now toxic to animals – this discovery may be first step in understand its evolution.  Palaeontologists at University College Cork (UCC) have found the first molecular evidence of phaeomelanin, the pigment that produces ginger colouration, in the fossil record. The new study reports the preservation of molecular fragments of the pigment phaeomelanin in 10-million-year-old frogs, adding molecular analysis to the palaeontologists' arsenal when reconstructing the original colours of extinct organisms. The study, published today in Nature Communications, was led by palaeontologists Dr Tiffany Slater and Prof. Maria McNamara of UCC's School of Biological, Earth, and Environmental Sciences (BEES) and Environmental Research Institute (ERI). They worked with an international team of scientists at Fujita Health University (Japan), Linyi University (China) and Lund University (Sweden). Dr Slater said: "This finding is so exciting because it puts palaeontologists in a better place to detect different melanin pigments in many more fossils. "This will paint a more accurate picture of ancient animal colour and will answer important questions about the evolution of colours in animals. Scientists still don't know how -- or why -- phaeomelanin evolved because it is toxic to animals, but the fossil record might just unlock the mystery." The team performed rigorous laboratory experiments on black, ginger, and white feathers to track how phaeomelanin pigments degrade during the fossilisation process, which backs up their interpretations of the fossil chemistry. Prof. McNamara, senior author on the study, said, "Fossils are invariably altered by the ravages of heat and pressure during burial, but that doesn't mean that we lose all original biomolecular information. Our fossilization experiments were the key to understanding the chemistry of the fossils, and prove that traces of biomolecules can survive being cooked during the fossilization process. "There is huge potential to explore the biochemical evolution of animals using the fossil record, when we account for chemical changes during fossilization."
