Just a Change Here and There

Nagendra Ningaraj, a former cancer researcher at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, is accused of tampering with data and images that appeared poster presentations and grant applications, says The Scientist. The Office of Research Integrity says that Ningarai swapped pictures of control and treated brain tumors and recycled old data as new data. According to The Scientist, Ningaraj, who is now at the Mercer University School of Medicine, has nether confirmed nor denied the allegations, though he has entered into a settlement agreement which prohibits him from partaking in research supported by the Public Health Service until the summer of 2012.
