Manitoba university cuts ties with Ebola researcher pending RCMP investigation
WINNIPEG — The University of Manitoba says it has cut ties with an Ebola vaccine researcher pending the results of an RCMP investigation.
A spokesperson said the school has ended the non-salaried adjunct appointments of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng.
Qiu, a renowned virologist who received her original medical training in China, helped develop a vaccine for the Ebola virus at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.
Cheng also worked at the lab as a researcher.
