Harvard chemistry scientist charged with lying about China ties

The chairman of Harvard University’s chemistry department was charged with lying to the U.S. Defense Department about his involvement in efforts to recruit people to pass along research to the Chinese government in exchange for lab funding, salaries and other benefits.

“This is not an accident or a coincidence,” U.S. Atty. Andrew E. Lelling said at a news conference in Boston. “This is a small sample of China’s ongoing campaign to siphon off American know-how and technology for China’s gain.” The charges come amid intense scrutiny U.S. law enforcement officials are applying to ethnic Chinese scientists and, now, U.S. researchers.

Lieber, a native of Philadelphia, attended Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Penn., where he graduated with honors in chemistry, according to his Harvard biography. He completed doctoral studies at Stanford University and post-doctoral research at Caltech before joining Columbia University as an assistant professor in 1987.
