The article reports that post doctoral fellow Kristin Roovers has been suspended by the Ottawa Health Research Institute after learning that she had manipulated and falsified data published in several papers in the United States. In July 2007, the U.S. Office of Research Integrity concluded that Roovers manipulated 19 panels of western blot data while a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
