That artificial trachea transplant is well known in Sweden since the lead of the project who carries the bulk of the blame for the research fraud, Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, used the Karolinska Institute as his base and the scandal resulted in KI replacing the board and the president because of how they supported him in spite of evidence. Since KI is involved in awarding the Nobel Prize in medicine we were very worried in Sweden if this was evidence of a culture that would compromise that process as well. If she would've had that on her resume over here, sheesh, that would not have looked good. Especially if she claimed that her work saved a patient's life.
