SEOUL, South Korea - South Korean researcher Hwang Woo-suk faked results of at least nine of the 11 stem-cell lines he claimed to have created, his university said Friday, in the first confirmation of allegations casting his purported breakthroughs under suspicion. In a May paper in the journal Science, Hwang claimed to have created 11 stem-cell lines matched to patients in an achievement that raised hopes of creating tailored therapies for hard-to-treat diseases. But one of his former collaborators last week said nine of the 11 cell lines were faked, prompting reviews by the journal and an expert panel at Seoul National University, where Hwang works.

In its first report on its progress Friday, the panel said it found that “the laboratory data for 11 stem cell lines that were reported in the 2005 paper were all data made using two stem cell lines in total.”

Hwang is “scientist” soviet style. like the one tried to create man-sized tomatoes(or potatoes?) to solve food shortages

Hwang will not go away. Here are some more stories about him:
