Princeton PhD students forced to quit by former advisor, Sabine Kastner, and department leadership after reporting Kastner’s academic misconduct. Multiple former lab members have now formally reported the matter. It involves ongoing NIH grants of over $20m.

Screenshot of the first page of a formal report addressed to Princeton administrators. The document states that the author is reporting alleged retaliation by a former adviser and departmental leadership after raising concerns about research integrity. It says the author was removed from the lab, prevented from obtaining another adviser, and told these actions occurred because he raised concerns anonymously.Screenshot from a formal report stating that, after leaving the lab, the author spoke with former postdocs and graduate students who reported alleged research misconduct by Professor Sabine Kastner. The document states that multiple former lab members came forward, that some remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, and that the allegations involve NIH-funded publications in Science, Nature Neuroscience, and Neuron.Screenshot of the closing section of a formal report. The document states that additional supporting materials are available upon request and asks for protection from further retaliation, reinstatement of the author’s academic status, and an impartial review of both the alleged retaliation and the reported research misconduct.Screenshot of a Princeton Neuroscience Institute faculty webpage displaying a portrait of Sabine Kastner above her name.
