Researcher Faked Data in Sleep Apnea Study – Health Blog – WSJ

The WSJ Health Blog reports another individual fabricating research study data.  Not much about industry ties, except that he later went on to work in industry.

“Robert Fogel, a former assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, fabricated and falsified data in a study of sleep apnea in severely obese patients, the Office of Research Integrity at HHS said…Fogel, who worked at Brigham and Women’s Hospital at the time but later moved on to work at Merck, told a former supervisor in 2006 that he had falsified the data, the Scientist reports.”
