ResumoForged images lead to German inquiry [MUNICH] In what appears to be Germany's first significant case of scientific fraud, two molecular biologists with rapidly growing reputations have been accused of fabricating data in papers published in leading journals.Marion Brach, 37, a full professor at the University of Lubeck near Hamburg, is reported to have admitted falsifying results in four research papers while she was working in the laboratory of Friedhelm Herrmann at the Max Delbruck Centre for Molecular Medicine in Berlin in the early 1990s.But Herrmann denies any knowledge that the data in the papers had been manipulated, even though he was a co-author on all four.Herrmann, 47, is one of Germany's leading gene therapy research scientists and a professor at the University ofUlm.
