CHINA-US: EMORY UNIVERSITY TERMINATED SERVICES OF TENURED ETHNIC CHINESE FACULTY
Emory University fired two neuroscientists after they were accused of failing to disclose foreign research funding and connections with China. Li Xiao-Jiang and his wife, Li Shihua––with whom he led a laboratory at the Atlanta university’s medical school -- said that he disclosed his Chinese research activity annually since 2012 and that the university did not explain why any of the researchers were fired. The university also shut down their laboratory. Four Chinese postdoctoral students working in the lab were told to leave the U.S. within 30 days. Li Xiao-Jiang and his wife are known for studying Huntington disease.
