The FBI is on the hunt for Chinese spies working at some of America’s most prized research facilities. And they believe they’ve uncovered a married couple who were stealing from a children’s hospital
Share to twitterYu Zhou and Li Chen were a husband-and-wife team that had built their reputations on breakthroughs in cutting-edge medical therapies at Ohio’s elite Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Along the way, they’d also founded a Chinese company and sold it to a Nasdaq-listed biotech business worth more than $150 million. But Zhou and Chen’s careers took a dramatic turn on July 29 when federal agents arrested them for stealing medical secrets from the former employer.
It’s a purge that, from the perspective of the Department of Justice and national security experts, is a long overdue step in tackling the trade war with China. The flip side from those defending Chinese scientists under investigation is that this “red scare” is terrorizing and scaring off elite researchers who could benefit America’s economy.
Zhou had been studying those exosomes as part of his ten years at a lab within the Nationwide Children’s Hospital, home to one of the biggest pediatric research centers in the U.S. He left in 2017. His wife, Chen, worked in a different NCH lab. She resigned in 2018, having joined in 2008.
