New Delhi: In late June 2021, NCBS researcher Arati Ramesh and the members of her lab had a paper in the journal
Nature Chemical Biology retracted after independent experts found that multiple images in the paper had been manipulated to claim a significant, but fraudulent, discovery.
Since then, both NCBS and inSTEM, an affiliated institute located on the NCBS campus, and where Ramesh’s partner Sunil Laxman is a principal investigator, have come under the scanner. Statements issued by NCBS and Ramesh after the retraction stoked controversy for their wording. Ramesh also came under fire for throwing one member of her research group under the bus for the retraction despite being the team’s principal investigator.
