A federal grand jury has reportedly indicted Hoau-Yan Wang, a 67-year-old medical professor at the City University of New York, for allegedly falsifying data to fraudulently obtain $16 million in federal research funding from the National Institutes of Health for the development of a controversial Alzheimer’s drug and diagnostic test.that the indictment marks a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding Alzheimer’s research and drug development.
The allegations against Wang are particularly damning. According to the indictment, he is charged with falsifying scientific research results by manipulating data and images of Western blots, a technique used to separate and detect proteins. The charges include artificially adding or subtracting protein bands and altering their thickness or darkness to support predetermined conclusions.
The repercussions of Wang’s alleged misconduct have been far-reaching. In March 2022, five of his articles published in the journal PLOS One were retracted due to integrity concerns with images in the papers. Other publications by Wang have also been retracted or had statements of concern attached to them.
The landmark study was published in Nature by neuroscientist and University of Minnesota associate professor Sylvain Lesne in 2006. To make a very long and intricate story short, Lesne claimed to have isolated a protein that caused memory loss in rats by creating plaque deposits in their brains.
