Call to investigate earlier work of embattled scientist
A former colleague of embattled South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk said today he has asked his university to widen its investigation into the stem cell researcher’s work, and to review earlier purported breakthroughs.
Moon Shin-yong, who played a key role in Hwang’s research, told The Associated Press that he asked Seoul National University to investigate Hwang’s paper, published last year in the journal Science, that purported to show his team created the world’s first cloned human embryos and extracted stem cells from them.
