I. INTRODUCTION:

South Korea`s most famous scientist has become a national embarrassment after his university announced some of his findings had been faked.

Mr. Hwang`s 2005 study had raised hopes of finding new cures for hard-to-treat diseases but a nine member university panel concluded the South Korean scientist had falsified data on at least nine of eleven stem cell lines he claimed to have created by cloning cells from specific patients.

Stem cells are primitive "master cells" which can develop into other types of human tissue.
The scientist`s claims of creating patient-matched stem cells had been seen by scientists worldwide as a key step in creating replacement organs that would not be rejected because they had come from the patient`s body. It also raised the possibility of new therapies for hard to treat diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson`s.
The panel says it will conduct tests to determine if any of the stem cells were cloned from human patients.
The scandal has also cast doubt on the scientist`s claims of cloning an Afghan hound named Snuppy.
