List of high-level Alzheimer's researchers accused of credible fraud:🧵 #1 - Marc Tessier-Lavigne Genentech pointed out problems in his 2009 Nature paper in 2012. After an expose by Theo Baker, he had to resign from Stanford Presidency, but can still run lab and do research.


Theo Baker #2 - Sylvain Lesné His 2006 Nature paper has 3515 citations and greatly affected the direction of Alzheimer's R&D, leading researchers & companies to focus on targeting Aβ*56. It took 16 years before the fraudulent images were found by Matthew Schrag. Lesné remains a Professor.


Theo Baker Matthew Schrag # 3 - Hoau-Yan Wang In June 2024 the DoJ indicted Wang for fraud on grant applications he submitted to NIH between 2017 - 2021, for which he received $16 M. In a 50 page report CUNY found him likely culpable for 14 separate allegations, but he still remains a Professor there.


Theo Baker Matthew Schrag # 4 - Eliezer Masliah Masliah served as Director of the National Institute on Aging’s Division of Neuroscience between 2016-2024. Masliah is one of the top 5 most cited Alz researchers. Mu Yang, Ph.D. has documented how his fraudulent work kicked off interest in drug Cerebrolysin.


Theo Baker Matthew Schrag Mu Yang, Ph.D. # 5 - Berislav Zlokovic Zlokovic is the world's leading expert on Alzheimer's and the blood-brain barrier. Two former lab members say that Zlokovic instructed them to make sure their lab notebooks were “clean”, meaning no data and results contrary to their paper’s conclusions.


Theo Baker Matthew Schrag Mu Yang, Ph.D. # 6 Domenico Praticò Elisabeth Bik, Mu Yang, Ph.D., and an anonymous whistleblower have all raised concerns about clearly fraudulent images to Research Integrity & Temple University. Praticò blamed a grad student for some of the images. He remains Director of Alzheimer's Center at Temple.
