Hoau-Yan Wang

Hoau-Yan Wang was a medical professor at CUNY School of Medicine until his 2025 retirement. In 2024, he was indicted by a federal grand jury for defrauding the National Institutes of Health of approximately $16 million in research grants. The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped the charges "with prejudice" but without giving a reason shortly before the October 2025 trial was slated to begin, and after CUNY announced in May that their investigation found research misconduct could not be proven.
