The Chronicle News Blog: Emory Forms Ethics Panel in Wake of Payment Scandal Involving Scientist
Emory University announced on Monday that it had created a committee to evaluate how it handles potential conflicts of interest among its researchers.
The move followed recent revelations that Charles B. Nemeroff, an eminent psychiatrist at the university, accepted $2.5-million in payments from pharmaceutical companies from 2000 to 2007 but disclosed only about half that amount to the university, a violation of university and federal policies that has drawn the attention of Senate investigators.
