A London university's most senior academic is to be reinvestigated for alleged research misconduct after being cleared by a similar inquiry last year, the Guardian has learned.
Prof David Latchman, a prominent geneticist and master of Birkbeck, University of London, was found to have "no case to answer" by an inquiry in 2015, but a new investigation has been ordered following fresh claims of potential wrongdoing.
