A University of California, San Francisco, postdoc ripped off images from a colleague and jiggered data files, the NIH's Office of Research Integrity (ORI) recently reported.
Nima Afshar, a postdoc working with UCSF molecular biologist Joachim Li, falsified microarray scans related to the molecular mechanism of yeast replication initiation. Specifically, she fudged images from another researcher's experiment to make her own data look as if there were gene amplifications indicative of replication re-initiation. In total, she faked 36 data files, the ORI concluded based on a UCSF investigation and Afshar's own admission.
None of the falsified images were published, according to UCSF officials.
Afshar's misconduct "comes as a complete surprise to me," Ben Black, a cell biologist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia who did his PhD alongside Afshar in Bryce Paschal's lab of the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, told The Scientist. "My experience with her was that she would painstakingly go through experiments and repeat them to validate and know that they were right. That would be inconsistent with her cooking the books." Paschal declined to comment in a telephone request from The Scientist
