Fauci on royalty payments in 2005

2020-08-28 17:38:58.581473+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

BMJ. 2005 Jan 22; 330(7484): 162. Royalty payments to staff researchers cause new NIH troubles

Dr Anthony Fauci told the BMJ that as a government employee he was required by law to put his name on the patent for the development of interleukin 2 and was also required by law to receive part of the payment the government received for use of the patent. He said that he felt it was inappropiate to receive payment and donated the entire amount to charity.
