Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer's
Charles Piller
In Doctored, investigative journalist Charles Piller uncovers a major scandal in Alzheimer’s research, revealing how flawed science and corporate interests have misled the search for a cure. The story begins with whistleblower Matthew Schrag, a Vanderbilt professor who discovered that key data supporting the dominant theory of Alzheimer’s may have been falsified by a prominent University of Minnesota lab. Piller’s reporting shows how this deception spread through hundreds of studies and reached institutions like the FDA
The book exposes a network of researchers, government officials, and pharmaceutical companies whose actions have stalled progress and misled patients. Yet, amid the corruption, a group of dedicated scientists continue to challenge the system, advocating for integrity and real solutions. Doctored is a powerful critique of the scientific establishment with implications far beyond Alzheimer’s, raising urgent questions about research oversight and accountability.
