Marc Tessier-Lavigne cleared of fraud or falsification of data, but failures on correcting the scientific record made his position untenable
Marc Tessier-Lavigne has resigned as president of Stanford University after a month-long review of his research found significant issues with published studies he had supervised.
The review of 12 of his papers, which was carried out by an independent panel, was initiated in December 2022 following allegations of scientific misconduct related to Tessier-Lavigne’s research which he consistently denied.
