The man in charge of infectious-diseases research at Texas Biomedical Research Institute has been cited by a federal watchdog agency for falsifying data in a scientific paper on treatments for tuberculosis, as well as in two grant applications.
Texas Biomedical Research Institute and its Southwest National Primate Research Center celebrated a groundbreaking in December 2021 on a future $15 million animal care complex. This week, Deepak Kaushal, director of the Primate Research Center, was directed to have his research supervised for a year after the Office of Research Integrity, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, found that he had falsified information in a scientific paper about treatments for tuberculosis.
The ORI ordered Kaushal to conduct all of his research under supervision for one year, a term that started last month. The ORI listed 10 instances in which Kaushal either “falsified and fabricated” information, such as the numbers of primates involved in the study and time intervals between treatments, or in which he included data derived from falsified treatments. He stated, for example, that seven primates were given a treatment regimen while seven were in an untreated control group. However, eight primates were given the treatment and six were in the control group.
