Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the top Republican on the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, is ratcheting up the scrutiny of financial ties between drug companies and faculty members at Harvard Medical School. The Iowa senator is asking the drug maker Pfizer to provide details of its payments to at least 149 faculty members at Harvard Medical School, The New York Times reported on its Web site tonight.
The senator’s request followed an article in today’s print edition of the Times about students and faculty members at the medical school who are working to expose potential conflicts that they believe may be tainting teaching and research at the school and its affiliated hospitals and laboratories. Harvard has taken steps in recent months to re-examine the school’s conflict-of-interest policies. A committee appointed to study the issue is scheduled to meet on Thursday.
