Alejandra Bravo, Mario Soberon, researchers from the Institute of Biotechnology, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), were disciplined for “inappropriate and categorically reprehensible manipulations” of images on studies of BT-bacteria used in products such as GM maize-to seeking to emphasize the results obtained in at least 11 articles published in scientific journals. Among the punishments meted out are the “resignations” of Soberon as head of the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Bravo as the presidency of the Committee on Bioethics. The process started from the Canadian team of experts composed by Vincent Vachon, Raynald Laprade and Jean Louis Schwartz who published the study “Current models of the mode of action of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal proteins: A critical review” in May this year, in the Journal of Invertebrate Pathology (Elsevier), which had indicated that models used by the Mexicans cannot be uphold, it was impossible to replicate.
