Dr Hwang has been hailed as a hero in South Korea
A South Korean cloning pioneer has reportedly admitted fabricating some of the results of his ground-breaking work on human embryos.
Dr Hwang Woo-suk was quoted by a colleague as saying that he had faked at least nine of 11 stem-cell colonies.
Dr Hwang's work had been hailed as a breakthrough, opening the possibility of cures for degenerative diseases.
But his work has come under increased scrutiny since ethical lapses in his methods were revealed last month.
South Korea's most celebrated scientist has been avoiding the media since his dramatic confession last month of ethical shortcomings in his work.
He has spent much of his time in hospital, where he has reportedly been suffering from stress as allegations have multiplied about the credibility of his research.
Paper under scrutiny
A close associate now says Dr Hwang has admitted faking at least some of the results which turned him into a national hero and seemed to give South Korea a clear lead in a revolutionary new field.
Dr Hwang's paper - authenticated by the American journal, Science - claimed to have produced 11 stem-cell lines from cloned human embryos: a new technical for growing tissue that would perfectly match the DNA of a donor.
The technique could lead to possible cures for diseases including diabetes and Parkinson's.
But Dr Hwang is now reported to have admitted that nine of the 11 stem-cell lines were fabricated.
A doctor who co-authored the paper says the credibility of the other two lines is also in doubt.
A close American collaborator of the Korean team has already tried to disassociate himself from the research.
The revelations have sparked a furious debate in the South Korean media.
Leading companies have pulled their advertisements from the television station that first revealed the problems with Dr Hwang's work.
Many commentators said it was unpatriotic to challenge someone who had given the country a lead in such a promising new area.

韩国蒙羞的"复制之父"遭到起诉
黄禹锡再次向韩国国民道歉
因涉嫌伪造数据而蒙羞的韩国克隆之父黄禹锡已经遭到有关弄虚作假、挪用公款以及违反生物伦理法律的司法起诉。
韩国的一位官员说，目前还没有决定是否把黄禹锡教授拘押起来。
另外，五名与黄禹锡研究工作有关的科学家也一同遭到控罪。据称，有数以百万美元计的捐款失踪。
今年较早时，首尔国立大学宣布，暂时停止黄禹锡教授以及他所领导的工作小组中六名成员的教学以及研究职务。 在黄禹锡被迫承认在胚胎干细胞研究上作假后，首尔国立大学曾经公开道歉。
首尔国立大学表示，黄禹锡为韩国以及科学界留下永久的污点。
伪造数据
黄禹锡曾声称他成功克隆干细胞，但韩国首尔国家大学的调查指黄禹锡伪造数据。
韩国国家审计署的一名发言人证实，黄禹锡正在接受挪用公共基金的调查。
黄禹锡和他的研究小组共收到4000多万美金的经费，用于干细胞研究，以期找到治愈许多退化性基因疾病的办法。
黄禹锡的“研究”曾令科学界充满憧憬
《科学》期刊已经正式撤回黄禹锡分别在2004和05年发表的两篇报告。
《科学》期刊的声明说："首尔国家大学调查结果显示，两篇报告内包含了相当多的伪造数据，该期刊的编辑认为必须立即和彻底地撤回这两份报告。"
黄禹锡指责欺骗行为的始作俑者是其它研究人员。
科学界曾经对黄禹锡的研究一度抱著很大的期望，如果医学界能成功复制人类干细胞，治疗糖尿、帕金森等疾病的机会将大大增加。

Dr Hwang has admitted faking his research
The disgraced South Korean cloning expert, Hwang Woo-suk, has been fired from his professorship at Seoul National University (SNU).
Dr Hwang and six members of his team were suspended from working at SNU last month pending a disciplinary investigation.
The university concluded in January that Dr Hwang had faked some of his famous stem cell research.
Dr Hwang and the six others also face criminal charges over the scandal.
SCANDAL TIMELINE
Feb 2004 Hwang Woo-suk's team declare they have created 30 cloned human embryos and extracted stem cells
May 2005 Team says it has made stem cell lines from skin cells of 11 people
Nov 2005 Hwang apologises for using eggs from his own researchers
15 Dec 2005 A colleague claims stem cell research was faked
23 Dec 2005 Academic panel finds results of May 2005 research were fabricated
10 Jan 2006 Panel finds 2004 work was also faked
20 March 2006 Hwang and six others sacked from SNU
Fall of scientific 'rock star'
Profile: Hwang Woo-suk
"The disciplinary committee has decided to fire Hwang and to take punitive action against six other professors," a university spokesman told the French news agency AFP.
Four professors were suspended for up to three months, and two others received a one-month pay cut, AFP reported.
"The professors fundamentally abandoned honesty and sincerity... and caused the fall in the school's honour and the country's international confidence," the university said in a statement.
Dr Hwang's dismissal means he is automatically banned from taking up any government-funded teaching or research for up to five years, the spokesman said.
Prosecutors are expected to wrap up their investigation soon into whether Dr Hwang should also face criminal charges of fraud and embezzlement for the alleged misuse of millions of dollars of funds.
Fabrications
The disgraced scientist caused shockwaves late last year, when he admitted flaws in his research.
He has apologised for the mistakes, but has insisted most of the fabrications were carried out without his knowledge, by collaborators on the project.
A final report from experts at Seoul National University, published in January, said that Dr Hwang had faked his most famous work, the production of a stem cell line taken from cloned embryos.
The panel had previously rejected another of his landmark claims - to have produced individually tailored stem cells.
But it did conclude that Dr Hwang produced the world's first cloned dog, an Afghan hound called Snuppy.
家园 【文摘】克隆狗DNA得证实 黄禹锡部分科研成果终被承认 新华网北京３月９日电 ９日出版的最新一期英国科学杂志《自然》刊文证实，由韩国科学家黄禹锡培育出的世界首条克隆狗“斯纳皮”的身份不存在疑问。韩国首尔大学和美国的科研人员在《自然》杂志上发表论文说，他们在分别进行的线粒体ＤＮＡ（脱氧核糖核酸）检测试验中，证明了克隆狗“斯纳皮”的身份属实，确实是一条克隆动物。
科研人员表示，线粒体ＤＮＡ只通过母亲遗传给后代，如果“斯纳皮”是通过克隆方法培育的，它的线粒体ＤＮＡ应该与其“母亲”一致。他们通过这一方法，验明了“斯纳皮”的身份。
去年８月３日，黄禹锡领导的研究小组在首尔将一条９周大的阿富汗猎犬“斯纳皮”介绍给公众，并称它是世界上第一条克隆狗。该小组随后在《自然》杂志上发表了相关研究论文。
但随着黄禹锡在其他科研成果中造假的事实逐渐被揭露，“斯纳皮”的真实性也受到怀疑。《自然》杂志曾在去年１２月要求验证“斯纳皮”的身份。
克隆狗比克隆其他哺乳动物难度更大，因为狗的卵子在发育早期就离开卵巢，在向子宫和输卵管移动的过程中逐渐成熟，很难收集，这些原因使克隆狗“斯纳皮”成为美国《时代》杂志去年评选的世界头号发明。

克隆专家黄禹锡最近很少公开露面
韩国检查官员开始对声誉扫地的克隆专家黄禹锡以及他的三名同事进行问话。
黄禹锡所从事的部分干细胞研究成果在今年1月被发现属于伪造。这一成果曾经唤起人们找到快速治愈疑难疾病的希望。
国家审计员上个月说，黄禹锡受到怀疑滥用了国家资金。
检控方据报正在考虑是否要对受到质询的一些人发出逮捕令。
这是黄禹锡自不光彩事件曝光以来首次接受盘问，而且也是几个星期以来首次公开亮相。
他在进入检察官办公室的时候拒绝回答记者的任何提问。
震惊
黄禹锡于去年下半年承认自己的研究成果作假，令世界感到震惊。但是，他坚称大部分的作假活动是在他不知情的情况下进行的。
黄禹锡曾声称他成功克隆干细胞，但韩国首尔国家大学的调查指黄禹锡伪造数据。
不过，黄禹锡确曾克隆了一只狗。
黄禹锡承认研究论文有假，但是说有人阴谋诋毁他。他是这种阴谋的受害者。
黄禹锡一度被韩国人崇拜为民族英雄以及干细胞研究领域的开拓者。
Korean cloning expert questioned
Hwang apologised to the nation in January for his "errors"
South Korean prosecutors have begun questioning disgraced cloning expert Hwang Woo-suk and three members of his research team in the capital, Seoul.
Some of Dr Hwang's stem cell research, which had raised hopes of imminent cures for difficult diseases, was found in January to have been fabricated.
Last month, state auditors said he was suspected of misusing government funds.
Prosecutors are reportedly considering whether to issue arrest warrants against some of those being questioned.
It is the first time Dr Hwang has been questioned since his disgrace, and the first time he has appeared in public for several weeks.

Dr Hwang has insisted that most of the fabrications which have come to light were carried out without his knowledge, by collaborators on the project.
He has been stripped of some of his titles and been suspended from his university post.
In February, a government audit board said it was trying to trace 2.5 billion won (US$2.6m) in government funds which were allocated to the scientist's research.

家园 【文摘】黄禹锡干细胞研究论文系“伪造” 黄禹锡干细胞研究论文系“伪造”
黄禹锡曾被认为是韩国最著名的科学家
韩国首尔大学的一个委员会周二(1月10日)宣布，该国科学家黄禹锡在复制干细胞上的一系列论文系伪造。
首尔国立大学的专家们表示，没有任何数据能支持黄禹锡的研究结果。
黄禹锡是2004年在美国《科学》杂志上发表论文，称他的研究团队成功复制了一个人体胚胎干细胞的。
首尔国立大学在一份声明中说：“黄禹锡在2004年发表的那篇论文中提到的一号干细胞并非复制自人体胚胎。”
“他的研究团队没有任何证据能证明他们曾复制过人体胚胎干细胞，”声明补充说。
首尔国立大学没有即刻宣布将对黄禹锡采取怎样的惩罚措施，但声明中说，对他的惩罚“将会很严厉”。
BBC驻首尔的记者表示，这个结论基本为黄禹锡的复制丑闻划上了一个句号。而在丑闻被揭发出来之前，黄禹锡是韩国最著名的科学家。
去年11月，黄禹锡承认伪造研究结果，并宣布辞去所有公职。

黄禹锡教授向国民道歉
韩国"干细胞之父"黄禹锡教授被揭发捏造研究结果后，向国民道歉。
黄禹锡周五在一些学生簇拥下召开记者会，部分学生哭泣。黄禹锡表示，他对自己造成的震惊和失望表示歉意，并辞去首尔（汉城）大学的教授职务。
韩国媒体援引黄禹锡的话说，他开发的为病人量身复制出的胚胎干细胞技术，这将获得承认。
不过，调查委员会为了要确认患者量身复制的干细胞是否真正存在，现正进行遗传基因分析。
首尔（汉城）大学调查委员会的调查结果表明，黄禹锡的大部分研究结果都是故意造假的。
韩国媒体周五援引首尔大学调查委员会发言人卢贞惠的话说，黄禹锡教授研究组2005年刊登在《自然》科学期刊上的论文，只能看做是把从2个细胞获得的结果“夸大而成的故意捏造”。
损害科学基础
她说，黄禹锡教授也部分承认指示进行捏造，他的研究人员也证实了这一点，这次捏造研究结果事件损害了科学的基础，黄禹锡教授无法避免被追究责任。
韩国媒体报道，韩国总统府青瓦台发言人金晚洙称表示，首尔大学调查委发表最终调查结果之后，将“对应该判断和考虑的问题整理立场”。
韩国科学技术部则表示，将根据研究管理规定，采取中断提供研究费用等必要的措施。
BBC在首尔的记者表示，黄禹锡的科学突破被揭发是虚假捏造之后，韩国民众把这次事件视为国家的耻辱。
家园 好像要被首尔大学开除了 黄禹锡教授表示辞去教授职务之后，首尔大学方面称，在调查结束之前不会受理辞呈。这意味着，在最糟糕的情况下，黄教授有可能会被罢免。更何况，一些少壮派生命科学家甚至主张黄教授“退出科学界”。因此，有观测认为，黄禹锡教授连“白衣从军”都很困难。科学界对造假基本是零容忍的，不像政界军界有“白衣从军”的传统。黄禹锡肯定还是有他的过人之处的，但是现在看来是无法在科学界发挥了。大家都可以引以为戒。
