Seven women are suing the university over alleged assault, harassment, and discrimination by three prominent scientists.

The measures include, in specific cases, terminating awards for researchers who have been found guilty in investigations by their institutions.

Cell biologist Irina Stancheva was dismissed in June 2017 after a scientific misconduct investigation.

Richard Vogt, this year’s awardee, showed inappropriate images of researchers in the field during his acceptance speech.

An uproar over the university’s handling of sexual misconduct accusations led to C.L. Max Nikias’s resignation.  

New allegations of fraud committed under the watch of geneticist David Latchman were made last year.

The UK-based biomedical research charity says researchers or institutions that fail to report misconduct will risk losing grants.

The prominent researcher has been put on administrative leave pending an investigation into unspecified allegations.

Ching-Shih Chen’s research involved anticancer therapeutics that were being tested in clinical trials.
