Marc Tessier-Lavigne Defends Research Amid Fraud Allegations
By Editor • August 27, 2026 • 1 min read
Marc Tessier-Lavigne, the former president of Stanford University, has taken to his lab's website to counter fraud allegations stemming from a recent book by Theo Baker. Three years post-resignation following a research misconduct investigation, Tessier-Lavigne aims to clear his name by sharing emails and details about his 2009 neurodegeneration study.
These allegations have resurfaced with the publication of "How to Rule the World," which critiques Silicon Valley’s ethical standards and highlights Tessier-Lavigne's case.
