...near-miraculous medical treatments-and because Yamanaka did not use human embryos, his technique offered researchers everywhere a way to sidestep the ethical controversies that have dogged the field since its birth. But it was March 2006, just months after the South Korean stem-cell scientist Hwang Woo Suk-who had become an international sensation after claiming to have cloned a human embryo, a first-had been exposed as a fraud. As another Asian stem-cell scientist announcing a surprise advance, Yamanaka knew his peers would put him under the microscope. "I was very nervous," he recalls. A few weeks...
...permanent professor at Harvard, his ties to the University run deep. He is a native Cantabrigian and served as a junior fellow in the Society of Fellows from 1998 to 2001 after finishing a Rhodes Scholarship and a degree from Yale Law School. His wife, Jeannie C. Y. Suk, became an assistant professor at the Law School this year, and the two were married in 1999 at the Harvard Club of New York, according to The New York Times. Presiding at their ceremony was Harold H. Koh ’75, who is now the dean of Yale Law School...

Although he claimed to have made breakthroughs in stem cell research, an independent investigation discovered that his work was riddled with lies. In an instant, the national hero became a national disgrace...
...have published articles about human embryonic stem-cell research in scientific journals since 2002, and concluded that the U.S. was "falling behind in the international race to make fundamental discoveries" in the field. Asian efforts are well funded, but haven't escaped difficulties either. South Korean veterinary scientist Woo Suk Hwang, who cloned the first dog and claimed to have cloned the first human embryo, was discredited late last year after he confessed to falsifying many of his results. Liberal laws and renewed funding, meanwhile, are pushing Europe toward the front of the field. The UK Stem Cell Foundation...
...Neuman is an expert in immigration law, a speciality that Harvard has sought in recent years. In addition to the lateral hires, two of the Law School’s assistant professors—Kenneth Mack and Ryan Goodman—received tenure, while two others—Jeannie Suk and Rachel Brewster—were hired as assistant professors. Four clinical lecturers were promoted to the new position of “clinical professor”: Deborah E. Anker, James L. Cavallaro ’84, John G. Palfrey ’94, and Robert C. Bordone...
