Like who's paying you off!


A prominent Emory University psychiatrist failed to tell the school about $500,000 in payments from drug maker GlaxoSmithKline while he was serving as the primary investigator for a government-funded research project studying Glaxo drugs, Sen. Charles Grassley alleged.

The payments to Charles Nemeroff, the chair of the Atlanta university's psychiatry department, were mainly for his work speaking to other doctors across the country about Glaxo drugs, including its big-selling anti-depressant Paxil, according to records Sen. Grassley obtained from Emory and Glaxo. The senator made the allegations in a letter to Emory President James W. Wagner dated Thursday.
