Two lawsuits against a cancer researcher and universities for scientific fraud have been settled for an undisclosed amount. The costumes participate in the work of Robert Getzenberg, who reported a new blood test to diagnose prostate cancer while at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and later at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
Onconome Inc. Redmond, Washington, that put millions of dollars over 5 years in the search Getzenberg, last year filed suit against Getzenberg, Pitt, and Johns Hopkins alleging that the test biomarker was "essentially as reliable as flipping a coin."
last Friday, the company Getzenberg and Pitt filed a motion in federal court in Pittsburgh requesting that the case against Pitt rejected. Onconome lawyer Spencer Hosie of San Francisco said Science Insider that the federal trial and a circuit court in the city of Baltimore against Johns Hopkins have both been settled. the details are confidential, Hosie says .
spokeswoman Joann Rodgers said Johns Hopkins Science Insider email that Getzenberg "remains a faculty member", but declined to comment further. Back in September, Rodgers wrote that it "continues to be a faculty member in good standing and research continues."
