SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Office of Research Integrity
(ORI) has made final findings of scientific misconduct in the following
case:
Alan L. Landay, Ph.D., Rush-Presbyterian--St. Luke's Medical
Center: Based on an investigation conducted by the institution, ORI
found that Alan L. Landay, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of
Immunology/Microbiology, engaged in scientific misconduct involving two
instances of plagiarism in publications related to two Public Health
Service (PHS) grants.
Dr. Landay has entered into a Voluntary Settlement Agreement with
ORI in which he has accepted ORI's finding and, for the two (2) year
period beginning August 8, 1995, has voluntarily agreed to:
(1) Exclude himself from serving in any advisory capacity to PHS,
including but not limited to service on any PHS advisory committee,
board, and/or peer review committee, or as a consultant; and
(2) Certify in every PHS research application or report that all
contributors to the application or report are properly cited or
otherwise acknowledged. The certification by the Respondent must be
endorsed by an institutional official. A copy of the endorsed
certification is to be sent to ORI by the institution.
ORI acknowledges that Dr. Landay cooperated with the institutional
investigation and the ORI review, accepted responsibility for his
actions, and appropriately corrected the scientific literature. The two
published papers (Coon, J.S., Landay, A.L., & Weinstein, R.S.
``Advances in flow cytometry for diagnostic pathology.'' Laboratory
Investigations 57:453-479, 1987; and Landay, A., Hennings, C., Forman,
M., & Raynor, R. ``Whole blood method for simultaneous detection of
surface and cytoplasmic antigens by flow cytometry.'' Cytometry 14:433-
440, 1993) that contained plagiarized text have been corrected (Landay,
A. Correspondence. Laboratory Investigations 70:134, 1994; and Landay,
