Controversies

In May 2026, Geng Hongwei, a Chinese science popularizer and academic fraud watchdog blogger, revealed that two papers published in Nature Cell Biology, one by the research team led by Kang Tiebang, Deputy Director of the Experimental Research Department at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, and the other by the team led by Kuang Dongming, Vice Dean of the School of Life Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University, had contained irregularities in their data. Sun Yat-sen University then launched investigations and announced that the papers had indeed involved academic misconduct. The university removed Kang Tiebang from his relevant positions and dismissed Kuang Dongming from his post as vice dean. It also imposed disciplinary measures, including demotion, suspension of student recruitment, and orders to issue corrections or retract the papers.[3][4]
