The NIH announced that Eliezer Masliah, MD, now former director of the division of neuroscience at the National Institute on Aging, engaged in research misconduct while serving in the agency.
The NIH said in a statement that Masliah committed falsification and/or fabrication involving repeated use and relabeling of “figure panels representing different experimental results in two publications.”
The NIH further stated it will notify the two journals in which the panels appeared of its findings so that appropriate action can be taken.
The agency initiated a research misconduct review
