In just two days, Shenzhen Nuclear Gene Technology Company (hereinafter referred to as Nuclear Gene) became the focus of public attention.
On November 25, the Lanzhou Municipal Health Commission of Gansu Province issued a notice on the incident of "negative nucleic acid for positive transporters". The notice shows that the staff of Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory mistakenly entered the list of individual nucleic acid tests in abnormalities into the negative personnel information package and uploaded it to the working system, so that the health codes of individual nucleic acid tests were shown to be negative for individual nucleic acid tests. Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory is a nucleic acid testing agency under Nuclear Gene.
Then, the people and companies behind Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory entered the public eye. Zhang Shanshan was the first to attract attention. The Tianyancha APP shows that she is a supervisor of Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory Co., Ltd. and is also an executive in more than 30 nucleic acid testing companies. However, what public opinion has particularly noticed is the nuclear gene behind Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory, as well as Zhang Hezi, the founders of the nuclear gene, and , Baying .
has undergone nucleic acid testing for more than 700 million people, and its institutions have been punished many times
Nucleogene official website shows that the company was established in 2012 and has opened 64 subsidiaries and 50 laboratories nationwide. At present, nuclear genes have nucleic acid testing institutions in many cities across the country, including Shenzhen, Beijing, Jinan, Xi'an, Chongqing, Changsha, Wuhan, Lanzhou and other cities.
Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory Co., Ltd. was established on August 8, 2022. In the notice, the Lanzhou Municipal Health Commission stated that the incident exposed that Lanzhou Nuclear Huaxi Laboratory's lack of strict management of staff and inadequate review and control will be dealt with seriously in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The nucleic acid testing institutions under
nuclear genes have been punished in many places across the country, but these institutions have not been completely stopped because of this.
On January 17, 2021, the Xingtai Municipal Health Commission of Hebei Province reported a lie to a third-party agency. The protagonist is the Jinan Huaxi Medical Laboratory (hereinafter referred to as Jinan Huaxi), a subsidiary of Nuclear Gene. At the press conference held on the same day, Wang Yinming, the county magistrate of Longyao County, Xingtai, said that Longyao County had previously commissioned Jinan Huaxi to conduct the second round of nucleic acid tests for all employees, and the feedback results were all negative, but later a 1:10 mixed test sample was positive. After verification by the public security organs, Jinan Huaxi reported all negative results without completing the test.
On January 18, 2021, Jinan Huaxi was ordered by the Jinan Municipal Health Commission to suspend nucleic acid testing business and was asked to actively cooperate with the public security and other departments to thoroughly investigate whether there were any illegal acts.
Since then, Jinan Huaxi continues to provide nucleic acid testing services. Announcement from Shandong University Tendering and Procurement Management Center shows that from August 2021 to August 2022, Jinan Huaxi won the bid for , Shandong University 's nucleic acid testing service project four times.
Changsha Nucleus Huaxi Medical Testing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Changsha Nucleus Huaxi) has also received a ticket from the Changsha Municipal Health Commission. Tianyancha APP shows that in August 2022, Changsha Nucleo Huaxi used staff who did not obtain medical-related qualification certificates, "Clinical Gene Amplification Testing Technical Personnel Job Certificate" and "Pathogenic Microbiology Laboratory Biosafety Training Certificate" to conduct the review of new coronavirus nucleic acid testing PCR laboratory machine amplification, and used non-health technicians to engage in medical and health technology work, and the Changsha Municipal Health Commission fined him 20,000 yuan.
Shenzhen Nuclear Huaxi Medical Laboratory (hereinafter referred to as Shenzhen Nuclear Huaxi) has been punished several times by the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission. Tianyan Check APP shows that on March 29, 2022, the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission inspected Shenzhen nuclear code Huaxi based on relevant clues and found that he used non-health technician Tang at a new crown nucleic acid sampling site on March 10, 2022 to carry out nucleic acid sampling work, and fined 50,000 yuan. On June 7 and 9, 2022, the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission went to Shenzhen Nuclear Huaxi for supervision and inspection and found that the institution had failed to sign medical documents in accordance with regulations, and was fined 3,500 yuan. At present, Shenzhen Nuclear Corporation Huaxi is still providing nucleic acid testing services in Shenzhen.The nucleic acid detection business of
nuclear gene was laid out very early. According to the official website of Nucleo Gene, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Nucleo Gene began to develop and prepare for nucleic acid testing business. On February 4, 2020, Nucleo Gene initiated a mobilization at an online meeting and launched its anti-epidemic work model on February 13.
With the rapid reaction of nuclear genes, the nucleic acid testing institutions under the group became the first batch of approved third-party testing institutions in many places.
On February 13, 2020, the Shaanxi Provincial Health Commission announced the second batch of third-party testing institutions that can carry out nucleic acid testing for new coronavirus, and the Xi'an Huaxi Medical Testing Laboratory, a subsidiary of Nucleo Gene, was among them; on February 19, 2020, the Jinan Municipal Health Commission announced the first batch of third-party medical testing institutions that can carry out nucleic acid testing for new coronavirus, including Jinan Huaxi, a subsidiary of Nucleo Gene; on February 25, 2020, the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission announced the list of nucleic acid testing institutions that can carry out nucleic acid testing for new coronavirus, and there are only 2 third-party testing institutions, and Shenzhen Nucleo Huaxi is one of them.
The "ten-day battle" for nucleic acid screening for all members was launched in Wuhan in May 2020. Nucleic genes are a key event. According to the official website of Nucleo Gene, in order to cooperate with the nucleic acid testing work of the "Ten Days Battle", Nucleo Gene President Zhang Hezi personally went to Wuhan to serve as the commander-in-chief, and many leaders and professionals of the group also went to Wuhan specifically. Nucleogene mobilized laboratory equipment and lab personnel from subsidiaries across the country for the "Ten Days Battle", with a total of 118 participants, and completed the 500,000 specimens assigned by Wuhan.
According to the official website of Nuclear Gene, since the "Ten Days Battle" in Wuhan, every major epidemic situation in the country has almost never been absent from the front line of the fight against each other. Since March 15, 2022, Shanghai Nuclear Huaxi Medical Laboratory and the temporary laboratory for nuclear gene development have conducted 24-hour uninterrupted nucleic acid testing. The maximum daily test volume can reach 400,000 tubes, and the maximum daily test volume can be detected by 4 million people.
2022 is the year when nuclear genes are accelerating expansion. In 2022 alone, 16 nucleic acid testing institutions were registered in nuclear genes, most of which were concentrated in the past three months. Nucleogene official website shows that the company has conducted nucleic acid tests for more than 700 million people.
Home decoration industry started, and the gene detection project has been controversial
As nuclear genes have attracted attention, the background of its founders Zhang Hezi and Baying has aroused public curiosity.
In the 2018 CCTV column "Beyond", Zhang Hezi said that his father was an ordinary middle school teacher and named the three brothers Nuclear, electron and atom.
According to the official website of Nucleo Gene and the National Judicial Identification Directory, Zhang Hezi, president of Nucleo Gene, studied in forensic science from China Medical University, obtained a master's degree. After graduation to 2008, he successively engaged in forensic physical evidence identification in the Forensic DNA Department of Shenzhen Public Security Bureau and the Shenzhen People's Police School.
According to the information of the China Medical University Alumni Association and the Shenzhen Chamber of Women Entrepreneurs, Bay Ying, Chairman of Nucleo Gene, and Zhang Hezi, are husband and wife. Bay Ying studied at China Medical University from 1989 to 1997. After obtaining a master's degree, she was assigned to Shenzhen Second People's Hospital and became a attending physician. Baying is the president of the Shenzhen Alumni Association of China Medical University and the vice president of the Guangdong Women Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce.
Although Zhang Hezi and Baying couple have medical backgrounds, their first pot of gold comes from the home decoration industry.
An article about Baying in the "Manager" magazine shows that after five years of clinical work, Baying and her husband Zhang Hezi went into business and started a business, and established Shenzhen Hongshi Home Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd., which specializes in villas and club designs and launched the brand "Hongshi Villa Design". In 2018, when he was interviewed by CCTV's "Beyond" column, Zhang Hezi said that through more than ten years of decorating the Redstone Villa, he achieved initial primitive accumulation.
According to the WeChat official account designed by Hongshi Villa, the company has participated in the design and decoration of several old luxury houses in Shenzhen, including No. 1, Xiangmi Lake, Portofino Pure Waterfront Villa located in , Shenzhen OCT , and Mission Hills Yulin Mountain Villa project located in Bao'an District, Shenzhen. Baying was previously the chief designer of Redstone Villa Design.
In 2012, Zhang Hezi and Baying returned to the medical field and established the nuclear gene. The above-mentioned article in the "Manager" magazine said that the design of Redstone Villa has enabled Zhang Hezi and Baying to achieve financial freedom, and the two returned to the bank to realize their dreams. Zhang Hezi later said on various occasions that his dream "is to extend the average life expectancy of human beings by more than ten years." According to Tianyancha APP, in November 2018, Zhang Hezi and Baying withdrew from Shenzhen Hongshi Home Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd.
In a group introduction to the WeChat public account of Nucleo Gene, Zhang Hezi introduced that the reason he wanted to name a company by his personal name is because it means that entrepreneurs must love their own businesses as much as they love their lives and their reputation. "I believe no one dares to get some ill-gotten gains at the expense of family credibility."
nuclear gene business is mainly divided into four sectors: judicial identification, medical testing, health management, and scientific research services. The company has launched corresponding gene testing products around these four sectors, with more than 1,000 testing projects. Among them, medical testing projects include non-invasive DNA prenatal testing, deaf gene testing, thalassemia gene testing, personalized tumor drug gene testing, HPV, HBV and other gene screening, and testing projects in the health field include early detection of oncogenes, whole genome sequencing , etc. The projects in the judicial field are mainly paternity testing .
In 2016, nuclear genes began to expand rapidly through the franchise model. According to the introduction of Nuclear Gene Group, it launched the "Hundred Brands and Ten Thousand Stores" plan in 2016, namely opening 100 laboratories nationwide, obtaining a national license, and opening 10,000 nuclear gene health centers nationwide. Nucleo Gene stated in the investment materials that Nucleo Gene Health Center is mainly open near large hospitals, social health centers, and large pharmacies, and requires 1-2 people to operate. Nucleo Gene is responsible for training and provides health management consultation, genetic testing sampling and consultation, DNA paternity test and other services.
In order to improve the operational capabilities of agents, Nuclear Gene has specially opened a Nuclear Business School. According to the official website of Nuclear Gene, Nuclear Business School is located in Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen. It has a construction area of and specializes in training agents.
Before the epidemic, DNA paternity testing was one of the important detection items for nuclear genes. In the official flagship store of Nucleo Gene JD.com, the single-person DNA paternity test product is priced at 840 yuan. The DNA paternity test project of
nuclear gene was reported by the media for errors in the results. In 2017, the Shenzhen Urban Channel " First Live " column reported that when Mr. Man and his wife agreed to divorce, he conducted a paternity test at the Guangdong Huaxi Forensic Physical Evidence Judicial Appraisal Institute, a subsidiary of Nucleo Gene, because he suspected that his son was not his biological child. The test results showed that Mr. Man and his son had no parent-child relationship. Mr. Man then sued his wife in court and accused her of being unfaithful with the results of DNA paternity tests, but the results of the court's judicial tests show that Mr. Man and his son are father-son. The results of DNA paternity tests at Guangdong Huaxi Forensic Physical Evidence Judicial Appraisal Institute have caused the complete rupture of Mr. Man's family. In response, Guangdong Huaxi Forensic Physical Evidence Judicial Appraisal Institute responded that the results were not problematic, but the samples were released in the document. Another high-profile testing project for
nuclear genes is the talent gene detection project, which is priced at 9,800 yuan in the official flagship store of JD . Nucleon Gene says that the project can detect children's language intelligence, logical reasoning intelligence, visual space intelligence, natural exploration intelligence, music intelligence, body movement intelligence, interpersonal social intelligence, and self-perception intelligence, and provides expert one-on-one interpretation and customized education suggestions. The project
is also controversial.According to Hunan Public Channel in 2019, the Changsha Municipal Market Supervision Bureau intervened in the investigation of nuclear genes that year. Shi Xiaoliu, director of the Medical Genetics Department of Xiangya Second Hospital, said at that time that nuclear gene merchants deliberately confused the relationship with causal relationship in publicity, and used the association between some gene loci and certain talents, saying that certain loci determine certain talents. Lu Jin, then deputy director of the Changsha Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, said that genetic testing can measure children's future and talent, which is something that has no scientific conclusions, and nuclear genes are suspected of false propaganda.
At a exchange meeting of Shenzhen Women Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce , Baying said that after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Nuclear Gene vigorously promoted nucleic acid testing services and signed franchisees with various provinces, cities and counties in China. This measure helped Nuclear Gene and agents overcome the "difficulty".
