Aguzzi and the Lowlifes

The prion researcher Adriano Aguzzi used to describe his Pubpeer critics as “lowlifes”, and himself as a victim of a lynch mob. But after Elisabeth Bik helped him find even more mistake…

For Better Science
When #scandal broke out, Adriano #Aguzzi claimed that he wasn't a bad person and threatened defamation lawsuits in ⚖️🏛 Courts all over 🌎 the world.
However, why did University of #Zurich NOT investigate everything that was being reported in 2020 and do so now four years later?
In 2020 Jul. I found a doc labeled as "Habil. Schrift",written by Adriano #Aguzzi in 1996 and originating in Dept. of #Pathology at University of #Zurich in University catalogue
If Aguzzi earned his Ph.D. he did it in 1996 and thru University of Zurich,not in 1986 thru University of #Freiburg
With only an inaugural dissertation (1 year) but claiming to had gained a PhD. from Abteilung für #NeuroPathologie (#Freiburg) Adriano #Aguzzi became a lurker at conferences while writing papers on the things as #Prion diseases now found to be problematic and possibly #Fake
Adriano #Aguzzi started in 1980 and got MD degree
Then he wrote inaugural dissertation (1986) addressed to Abteilung Für Neuropathologie (#Freiburg) (1 year of study) but he did not submit his habilitation thesis (Habilitationsschrift) although he claimed he gained a PhD. in 1986
In 2020 Adriano #Aguzzi was running a #Twitter account and one of surprises was #Pic he uploaded to prove his PhD This doc is a "laurea" from Universita Di #Bologna: "dottore ad honorem"
He has no PhD
Aguzzi's story who turned him a leading researcher in prion diseases is curious
In March University of #Zurich started an investigation after mass retraction request for a group of papers in which Adriano #Aguzzi was lead researcher.
A former employee at Institute of #NeuroPathology of University Hospital over ten years was pointed out👉🤥
but fake papers date back to 2010
