SAEN Calls for Georgia State University to Terminate Banned Researcher
From AJC.com, February 8, 2023
An animal rights watchdog group is calling for Georgia State University
to fire a professor over his research practices that involve mice.
Stop Animal Exploitation Now, or SAEN, wants the university to cut all ties
with Zhi-Ren Liu, a biology professor. The organization alleges that he was
banned multiple times by the university’s research administration from using
animals in research because of how animals were treated, such as performing
unapproved procedures.
In a Wednesday letter to GSU’s president, the organization states that it
obtained documents that indicate the professor “has been banned from
involvement in animal experimentation” but that SAEN believes he “may still
be connected to animal experiment” through a university startupthat focuses
on pharmaceutical cancer research.
Georgia State issued a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in
response to the group’s concerns.
It read: “Georgia State takes the humane treatment of animals extremely
seriously. The university’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee
terminated the researcher’s existing protocols and the university suspended
his privileges to conduct animal research on April 20, 2022.”
