Sacked professor launches legal action to regain job

摘要

A professor dismissed by the University of Tokyo in Japan said on 2 March that he will take the university to court to demand his job back. Kazunari Taira was fired in December after an investigation found "no reproducibility and no credibility" in four RNA papers from his lab. Also sacked was the researcher who had been in charge of the questioned experiments (see Nature 445,12; 2007). Both deny involvement in misconduct.
