Journal Reviews Ex-MIT Professor's Papers
An AP newswire article, via ABC News, reports that:
The publisher of a scientific journal is investigating the accuracy of several papers written by a biology professor who was fired by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for allegedly fabricating research data.
Luk Van Parijs wrote three papers for the journal Immunity in 1998 and 1999, before he finished his postdoctoral work at the California Institute of Technology and became an associate professor in MIT's Center for Cancer Research.
"The allegation of fraud is a very serious offense," said Lynne Herndon, president and CEO of Cell Press, which publishes the Cambridge-based journal. "This is something we take very seriously, as do all scientific journals."
MIT says Van Parijs, 35, who was fired Wednesday, has admitted fabricating and falsifying data in a paper, several manuscripts and grant applications. He had been on leave since August 2004, when a group of colleagues reported the allegations to MIT administrators.
A woman who answered the telephone Saturday for a listing for Van Parijs said he was not available for comment.
