Three more senior Chinese scientists have been disciplined by their universities following allegations of research misconduct raised by a prominent blogger. Nankai University in Tianjin removed Chen Quan from his position as dean of the College of Life Sciences, citing failures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of experimental data in a 2024 paper published in Nature Cancer. Similarly, Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou dismissed Kang Tiebang from his role as deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China due to data and image errors in a 2020 study in Nature Cell Biology. Kuang Dongming, also associated with multiple publications in Nature Cell Biology, Science Advances, and Cell, was stripped of his associate dean position at the same university for comparable misconduct.
