Immature one researcher has accumulated an enormous amount of data, with a very sloppy handling, it was poor in the sense of responsibility.

A new master cell that suspicion emerged one after another " STAP ( Stapp ) cells ." Press conference on the 14th , RIKEN opened in Tokyo lasted about 4 hours . Ryoji Noyori , President , which is also the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry bowed deeply at the beginning , and the issue of apology this time . Was severely criticized " immature one researcher has accumulated an enormous amount of data , with a very sloppy handling , it was poor in the sense of responsibility " and for Kobo-kata Haruko Research Unit Leader .
Ishii investigation chairman of RIKEN , and description was admitted to the image processing for Kobo-kata 's to improve the appearance of the paper . That said that it is " there is no recognition that no-no " in the interviews . Ishii chairman was puzzled as " either did not have the opportunity to learn the research ethics " .
Points found important image that is to show the versatility of STAP cells , the same as the image of the doctoral thesis of Kobo-kata 's , Takeichi RIKEN Center length haircut is "not without the body of the article ." Said to be " deeply regret the past ( the first time of the study ) Survey said it was not enough " for that used in the incumbent .
Kobo-kata 's cooperative to submit requests for data and interviews , and it also shows the intention to respond to the press conference that it " would like to say your feelings ." However, I said, " physical and mental state of Kobo-kata 's is not so good this week ," said Ishii Chairman revealed that you are not able to interview recently .
On the other hand , for Sasai, RIKEN Deputy Director who led the paper , Ishii chairman pointed out that the size of the role " thesis was a collaborative Kobo-kata 's , of Mr. Sasai " he said. President Noyori also criticized " responsibility very heavy " he said.
Conclusions of the paper that you have created a STAP cells , and that they thought Mr. Kobo-kata et al right now. The truth is , I wonder where will do some ? I want you to prove in decent shape if it believes the results of the paper is correct .


疑惑が相次いで浮上した新たな万能細胞「ＳＴＡＰ（スタップ）細胞」。理化学研究所が１４日、東京都内で開いた記者会見は約４時間に及んだ。ノーベル化学賞の受賞者でもある野依良治理事長は冒頭で深々と頭を下げ、今回の問題を陳謝。小保方晴子研究ユニットリーダーについて「１人の未熟な研究者が膨大なデータを集積し、極めてずさんな取り扱いをして、責任感に乏しかった」と厳しく批判した。
　理研の石井調査委員長は、小保方さんが論文の見栄えを良くするため画像を加工したことを認めたと説明。聞き取り調査に「やってはいけないという認識がなかった」と話したという。石井委員長は「研究倫理を学ぶ機会がなかったのか」と首をかしげた。
　ＳＴＡＰ細胞の万能性を示すとされた重要な画像が、小保方さんの博士論文の画像と同一とみられる点について、竹市理研センター長は「論文の体をなしていない」とばっさり。現職に採用したことに関しては「過去の（研究ぶりの）調査が不十分だったと深く反省している」と述べた。
　小保方さんは聞き取りやデータの提出要請に協力的で、「自分の気持ちを申し上げたい」と記者会見に応じる意向も示しているという。ただ、石井委員長は「今週は小保方さんの心身の状態があまり良くない」と述べ、最近聞き取りができていないことを明かした。
　一方、論文を指導した笹井理研副センター長について、石井委員長は「論文作成は小保方さん、笹井さんの共同作業だった」と役割の大きさを指摘。野依理事長も「責任は非常に重い」と批判した。
　ＳＴＡＰ細胞を作成したとする論文の結論について、小保方さんらは現在も正しいと考えているという。真実は、どこにあるんでしょうかね？論文の結果が正しいと考えているとすればきちんとした形で立証してほしいですね。
