When three vials of a possible cancer-fighting compound disappeared recently from a professors desk at the Medical College of Wisconsin, suspicion quickly fell on a research assistant who had been working in the scientists lab. Security video showed Hua Jun Zhao, who studied in China and whose wife lives there, was the only person who entered the professors office that day. Investigators later found research results from another professor on Zhaos computer. Zhao has been charged in a federal complaint with economic espionage, accused by prosecutors of stealing academic research to pass off as his own in China. (English)
