Two cancer researchers who formerly worked at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City published 12 papers with fake data that amounts to research misconduct, according to findings from the U.S. Office of Research Integrity (ORI).

ORI found that Andrew Dannenberg "engaged in research misconduct by recklessly reporting falsified and/or fabricated data" in the papers, and Kotha Subbaramaiah "reused Western blot images from the same source and falsely relabeled them to represent different proteins and/or experimental results".

The published findings for both scientists include the same extensive list of duplicated images in a dozen papers, all retracted.
