Harvard chemist Charles Lieber found guilty of all charges related to Chinese research funding chemistryworld.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from chemistryworld.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Attorneys defending former Chemistry department chair Charles M. Lieber, who was charged with lying to federal authorities examining his ties to China, said during a status conference last week that Lieberâs cancer diagnosis and deteriorating health call for an expedient trial.
As the trial looms, legal experts spoke with The Crimson about Lieberâs possible defense strategies, which might implicate Harvard and draw attention to University policies around foreign funding disclosure.
Federal authorities arrested Lieber in January 2020, alleging that he made fraudulent statements to officials investigating his funding sources. Lieber reportedly lied to the Defense Department and the National Institutes of Health about ties he allegedly had to Chinaâs Thousand Talents Plan, a talent recruitment program.
On Jan. 6, Zaosong Zheng, a former researcher at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, was ordered to leave the United States and return to China after being charged with lying to federal agents about allegedly smuggling cancer research. Zheng agreed to not return to the U.S. for 10 years.
Zhengâs sentencing, however, marks merely the latest development in an ongoing crackdown by the United States government and American universities on âacademic espionage,â or the transmission of academic research by scientists at American universities to foreign governments. Multiple Harvard affiliates, including former Chemistry Department Chair Charles M. Lieber, have been subject to criminal proceedings due to alleged misbehavior.
