8\/21\/13: Saint Louis University defends Chinese malaria research linked to discredited AIDS study<\/em> by Alan Scher Zagier, Associated Press: http:\/\/bit.ly\/18WeUdN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Saint Louis University is vigorously defending a research partnership with a Chinese scientist whose work on a study that intentionally infected AIDS patients with malaria was roundly condemned by public health experts.<\/p>\n

\u2026\u201dThese experiments would never be permitted in the U.S. and other countries because they violate laws protecting the rights of humans used in medical research,\u201d (Peter Heimlich) said, referring to a 2003 internal inquiry by the University of California-Los Angeles after one of its scientists was linked to Heimlich\u2019s work abroad. \u201cWhen I wrote to Father Biondi, I assumed SLU was unaware of Dr. Chen\u2019s malariotherapy history and that the school would be concerned. When I received Dr. Tait\u2019s letter, I was surprised to learn that the university had no interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

University spokeswoman Nancy Solomon declined an Associated Press request to interview Tait and the two university researchers who oversee its global health research center, a pair of former Pfizer Inc. drug discovery scientists. Both Chen and the Chinese research center \u2014 the equivalent of the National Science Foundation in this country \u2013 did not immediately respond to interview requests Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With specific citations, (Peter) Heimlich writes in an e-mail to Daily RFT:<\/p>\n

The \u201cmalariotherapy\u201d experiments in China, conducted for over a decade by Dr. Chen in conjunction with Cincinnati\u2019s Heimlich Institute, have been called \u201catrocities\u201d by the World Health Organization<\/strong>. Medical experts have condemned the work as \u201ccharlatanism of the highest order.\u201d Research subjects included prisoners who were controlled by hired guards. In one case, a woman with full-blown AIDS, suffering from pneumonia and hooked up to oxygen, was infected with malaria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026SLU\u2019s school of medicine was awarded a $566,640 National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant<\/strong>, to \u201cidentify novel antimalarial drug targets and compound classes that kill the parasitic microorganism that causes malaria, which afflicts more than one billion people and kills about 1 million annually.\u201d A spokeswoman confirms to Daily RFT that this grant is part of the GIBH project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are U.S. tax dollars funding research by a doctor responsible for conducting what a World Health Organization report called medical \u2018atrocities?'\u201d<\/strong> (Peter) Heimlich says in an e-mail to Daily RFT regarding the NIH grant.<\/p>\n

(Dr. Heimlich\u2019s) experiments \u2013 which seek to destroy HIV, the AIDS-causing virus, by inducing high malarial fevers- have been criticized by the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration and condemned by other health professionals and human rights advocates as a medical \u201catrocity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
