The FBI is investigating a former Jackson Laboratory scientist for allegedly failing to disclose his financial ties to Chinese research institutions in grant applications to the U.S. government.
The world-renowned laboratory is headquartered in Bar Harbor but has locations in other states and in China. An affidavit filed in U.S. District Court of Bangor was unsealed Tuesday and outlined the details of the investigation. That document identified Yijun Ruan as the Florine Deschenes Roux chair and director of genome sciences at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine in Farmington, Connecticut.
