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.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Department of Justice have been investigating Chinese collaborations of a scientist formerly at the Farmington facility of Jackson Laboratory, the biomedical research organization headquartered in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Yijun Ruan, formerly professor and director of genomic sciences at the lab’s Farmington facility, “has received, and possibly is continuing to receive” funding from Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, China, and Shenzhen People’s Hospital in Shenzhen, China, while receiving research grants from the National Institutes of Health, according to an FBI affidavit filed Dec. 30 in Maine federal court.
