Former Cornell University medical researcher Monib Zirvi on Saturday sued Illumina Inc and a group of lawyers who represented Cornell, accusing them of a conspiracy involving Illumina and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc to steal his gene-analysis technology.
said attorneys with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Latham & Watkins colluded with Illumina and Thermo Fisher to misuse his innovations in cancer-screening products.
Zirvi's attorney Joe Garrity of Lorium Law said Monday that Illumina and Thermo Fisher's advances in DNA sequencing would not have been possible without Zirvi's technology, and that they had "gone to great lengths to keep the truth buried." Zirvi said Cornell and Thermo Fisher's attorneys advised him during the lawsuit while hiding that Thermo Fisher and Illumina were secretly collaborating to develop Ampliseq with his technology. His complaint said Ampliseq strengthened the two companies' "duopoly" over the DNA-sequencing market.
