Recently, the University of Connecticut has alleged that the findings of researcher Dipak K. Das on red wine are flawed and fabricated. It has been alleged by the University that the 26 articles published in 11 journals by Dipak K. Das regarding the capability of red wine boosting longevity are flawed.

David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School is currently accessing the works of Dipak K. Das. The University has criticized that normally researchers find it difficult to get federal grants for the research. However, in the case of Dipak K. Das, the money smoothly flew to him.

The University said that knowing the true image of the research of Dipak K. Das, it is planning to return $890,000 grant to the Federal Government. It has been informed that recently, Mr. Das was provided with additional grant to carry on the research.

It is hard to gauge scientific errors at a time when the researchers claim of conducting some serious research. Since 2009, investigation over the work of Mr. Das is being carried out. It has been informed by the University that it received an anonymous letter complaining about the irregularity at the laboratory of Mr. Das.

Soon after it, a review over the research was conducted which was recorded in a report by Dr. Kent Morest of University of Connecticut. The report has now been forwarded to the Office of Research Integrity, which will be holding further investigations.

In the report, it has been alleged that the articles by Mr. Das have 145 instances of fabrications. It has also been alleged that images have been taken from western blot, a research record and have been pasted in the articles of Mr. Das. It is not for the first time when Mr. Das has been alleged of fraudulent scientific activities.
