Eighteen months later, his brilliant career was in ruins. Findings that were touted only last summer as a fundamental breakthrough in the understanding of carcinogenesis have been branded fraudulent. Colleagues discovered that his results included protein gels-isolated bits of cellular matter-that were cunningly doctored to look like something they were not. While Spector denied any wrongdoing, he was expelled from the Cornell lab, withdrew his Ph.D. thesis, even though it had already been approved, and quit the university. Important aspects of his work may yet turn out to be true, but few believe he will ever be able...
Benacerraf shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1980 for his work on genetically determined cellular mechanisms for communication between body cells...
...Faculty affirms the proposal next month, as observers say is almost certain, the department will divide into the departments of Cellular and Developmental Biology (CDB) and Comparative Biology...
Those new positions fall mostly in the Cellular and Developmental Biology (CDB) half of the department, and Biology professors say CDB's desire for autonomy in hiring--as well as in day-to-day operations--from the Organismal and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) half of the department will also spur Biology's planned division into two departments later this year...
...Faculty should dispose of the second pending issue--the reorganization of the Biology Department--even more quickly. For nearly a decade, the department has been divided into two subgroups--organismal and evolutionary biology (OEB) and cellular and developmental (CDB). The two groups have operated "pretty autonomously" in recent years, John E. Dowling '57, professor of Biology who is supervising the division, says, adding that recent increases in the size of the department have made it too large to be run effectively as one big unit...
