The biotech company Genentech said that it has found no evidence that Stanford’s embattled president, neuroscientist Marc Tessier-Lavigne, tried to suppress misconduct findings involving a 2009 Nature paper around when he left the company in 2011.
to look into those allegations and concerns posted years earlier on PubPeer, an online forum for commenting on papers, about images in several other papers. The committee hired a law firm to review the papers in consultation with five prominent researchers from outside Stanford.
posted on his lab web page, Tessier-Lavigne called the claims of falsified data and a coverup “completely and utterly false.” He pointed to 2012 and 2014 papers from his own group that did not support some of the original 2009 findings; this was part of the normal progression of science, he said. In a statement today, he said: “I am not surprised by Genentech’s report, which directly and unequivocally refutes the false and hearsay rumors concerning the 2009 Nature paper and related research.
