- Title
NIH scandal underscores lack of sample oversight.
- Authors
Wadman, Meredith
- Abstract
The article focuses on the implications of the U.S. Congressional investigation, which reported that Trey Sunderland, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), had committed serious misconduct when he shipped samples of cerebrospinal fluid to Pfizer. He did this without authorization and without reporting that he received more than $600,000 in consulting fees from the pharmaceutical company. This will significantly affect the public’s faith in the NIH and its Cancer Genome Atlas.
