US professor charged with manipulating data for Alzheimer's drug trial

Federal prosecutors said on Friday that Hoau-Yan Wang, 67, fabricated data included in grant applications to the National Institutes of Health on behalf of himself and a publicly-listed Austin, Texas-based pharmaceutical company for which he was a consultant. The NIH awarded Wang, a professor at the City University of New York's (CUNY) medical school, around $16 million between 2017 and 2021, prosecutors said.
