BOSTON (AP) - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology said Thursday it fired a biology professor for falsifying research data.
Luk Van Parijs, an associate professor in MIT's Center for Cancer Research, was fired Wednesday, officials said. He had been placed on leave and denied access to his laboratory and office after a group of colleagues reported the allegations of "research misconduct" to university administrators in August 2004.
The school claims Van Parijs, 35, later admitted to fabricating and falsifying data in a paper, several manuscripts and grant applications, though no details were released.
