A scientist responsible for studying the link between aging and resveratrol, found in red wine, has been accused of committing more than 100 acts of data fabrication and falsification, according to Reuters.
Dipak K. Das, who directed the University of Connecticut’s Cardiovascular Research Center, has been outed by the university after it discovered the information. The university says it received an anonymous tip that led to an investigation beginning in 2008.
UConn was offered $890,000 in federal grants awarded to Das for his research, but declined to accept them in light of the new information. The university notified 11 scholarly journals – including Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, where Das was an editor-in-chief – that published the research.
