Former Emory professor lands in Miami
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An Emory University researcher, whose failure to disclose income from drug companies led to new conflict-of-interest policies, will become the chairman of the psychiatry department at the University of Miami, officials said Friday.
Dr. Charles Nemeroff, an internationally known expert on depression,will assume the post Dec. 1 at the school's Miller School of Medicine, according to a statement by Miami school officials.
Nemeroff had been stripped of his chairmanship over Emory's psychiatry department last December after the university determined he had not disclosed $800,000 in speaking fees from the drug company GlaxoSmithKline.
Nemeroff has been the central figure in a U.S. Senate inquiry into whether drug company payments to doctors and academics skew research. He had been accepting money from drug companies whose products he had both reviewed and promoted.
