SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — A longtime San Francisco dermatologist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco, is fighting back against accusations he conducted unethical prison research experiments in the 1960s and 1970s, claiming the university “knowingly and maliciously” lied about his role in the studies to protect itself from reputational harm.
In a lawsuit filed in San Francisco Superior Court, Dr. Howard Maibach, now in his late 90s, says UCSF used Maibach as a “sacrificial scapegoat” for experiments UCSF faculty had conducted at the California Medical Facility, a state prison medical facility in Vacaville, California, in the 1960s and 1970s, and the investigation and eventual report on Maibach was “deliberately skewed to present a preconceived false narrative” about the doctor.
