Former Stanford President Retracts “Ground-Breaking” Alzheimer’s Paper<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne, who resigned in July of last year after an investigation found flaws in his research, retracted a 2009 science paper formerly described as \u201cgroundbreaking.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prestigious science journal\u00a0Nature\u00a0<\/em>announced<\/a>\u00a0the retraction in a December 18 article signed by Tessier-Lavigne (pictured<\/em> below), the lead author, and his three co-authors,\u00a0The Stanford Daily<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Tessier-Lavigne, a neuroscientist, was an executive at the biotechnology company Genentech<\/strong>, according to\u00a0The Daily<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two days after the paper\u2019s publication, Genentech described it to its shareholders as \u201cgroundbreaking basic research about an entirely new way of looking at the cause of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00a0Nature<\/em>\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0published about the paper shortly after was titled, \u201cAlzheimer\u2019s theory makes a splash.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tessier-Lavigne told\u00a0The Daily, \u201c<\/em>As with all of my papers, at the time of publication of\u00a0Nature<\/em>\u00a02009, I believed the results in the paper were correct and accurately presented.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely believe that there are no falsified data in the paper,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> he told\u00a0The Daily<\/em>\u00a0in a subsequent email, it reported.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The retraction is Tessier-Lavigne\u2019s fourth in four months,<\/strong> according to\u00a0The Daily.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Such incidents are rare, as just eight out of every 10,000 science papers are retracted, according to\u00a0Retraction Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Daily<\/em>\u00a0reported that \u201ctwo of Tessier-Lavigne\u2019s influential neurodevelopment papers published in\u00a0Science<\/em>\u00a0and a third published in\u00a0Cell<\/em>\u00a0were withdrawn earlier this fall after they were found to contain manipulated images.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnother Tessier-Lavigne paper published in\u00a0Nature\u00a0was issued an expression of concern over \u2018manipulation of research data\u2019 this month, implying it will likely face correction or retraction,\u201d according to the paper.<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0investigation<\/a>\u00a0leading to the former president\u2019s resignation in July determined data \u201cwere manipulated in some published scientific papers on which he was a main contributor,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0The Wall Street Journal.<\/em><\/p>\n

An investigative panel also stated Tessier-Lavigne \u201cfailed to decisively correct mistakes in published papers as they were uncovered and had lapses in oversight of his labs at multiple institutions,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
