Research Misconduct Uncovered

Evidence of research misconduct has emerged regarding Eliezer Mizlaia, a prominent figure in neuroscience, following a thorough nine-month investigation by the NIH. This investigation revealed that Mizlaia had reused and relabeled figures across multiple papers, despite them representing different experimental conditions. Notably, 132 of Mizlaia's published papers were found to contain manipulated images that raised concerns about their credibility. The implications of this misconduct extend to drug candidates for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, which rely on the integrity of the underlying research.
