Abderrahmane Kaidi is a biologist whose research focussed on cancer and DNA damage.[1] He is best known for committing research fraud that led to his resignation as a lecturer at the University of Bristol.[2] In 2018, he was investigated by the university for alleged misconducts in behaviour and research issues. He was found guilty of faking research, which he admitted as a mean to impress other scientists for collaboration and were not for publication.[3]
The University of Cambridge also investigated Kaidi's research while he worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the Gurdon Institute from where he published several papers on DNA damage. Two articles, published one each in the journal Science (in 2010) and Nature (in 2013), were retracted simultaneously on 11 April 2019 following evidence of data fabrications.[4][5]
