Dana Farber Academic Fraud
I placed a lot of trust in Dana Farber for my myeloma treatment- their doctors, determination trial etc. by all accounts, they have treated me well
However, I understand that Dr Ken Anderson’s lab was investigated for fabricating data in over a dozen trials. Researchers fabricated trial results to boost their own careers
The institute settled the matter for $15M without accepting wrong doing. But this leaves me quite pained. Patients like myself put our faith in Dr Anderson’s team. I am outraged by the blatant fraud, and the impact this has. And even more so, by the hush-hush manner in which it was covered up, without any structural changes
This is such a shame. I am curious if there are other DFCI patients here, and how you’ve interpreted this news.
Edit: They have confirmed that misrepresentation happened in trials containing mice. They have not said if misrepresentation happened in trials with humans.
