Ohio State University investigations identified misconduct by two scientists in lab of high-profile cancer researcher Carlo Croce. The university has cleared Croce of misconduct, but disciplined him over management problems.
Over the past decade, questions have swirled around the work coming out of a prominent US cancer-research laboratory run by Carlo Croce at the Ohio State University . Croce, a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, made his name with his work on the role of genes in cancer. But for years, he has faced allegations of plagiarism and falsified images in studies from his group. All told, 11 papers he has co-authored have been retracted, and 21 have required corrections.
Croce, meanwhile, is now suing the university’s board of trustees to try to regain the chair, and is claiming more than $1 million in damages over its actions. He toldthat although he accepts that there are errors in some of his lab’s papers, which he says will be corrected, the overall incidence of error in his lab’s output is low. “My lab has always done great work,” he says.
OSU’s actions in response to the findings are unusual. It’s rare for a university to take these kinds of disciplinary steps concerning work from the lab of such a prominent and highly decorated researcher; Croce has received more than $100 million in US federal grants as a principal investigator in the course of his career, as well as scores of awards.
