Researchers Sue Brigham, Med School for Alleged Misconduct Investigation

Two stem cell researchers at the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital have filed a lawsuit against the hospital and Harvard Medical School alleging that an investigation into the researchers' practices by the Medical School and the Brigham is unlawful and damaging to their reputations. Piero Anversa and Annarosa Leri, a professor and associate professor at the Medical School, respectively, who also work at the Brigham, filed the suit against the hospital and the Medical School in federal court on Dec. 16. The researchers alleged that an investigation into their findings on stem cells is damaging to them and should be aimed at their collaborator, Jan Kajstura, formerly an associate professor at the Medical School.
