Reproducibility is a big problem in biology right now. He probably thought he could delay people finding out until he can produce good legitimate research that might distract attention away from the faked data. I was thinking, "please don't be Chinese" when I read the title. Fuck.

I was under the impression that the name Dong-Pyou Han was of Korean origin?

  Han is a valid Chinese and Korean last name. However, this researcher appears to be Chinese based on his previous publication history (he was affiliated with a university in Shanghai prior to coming to the states which is unlikely occurrence for a Korean)

    Not to nitpick on the race here but Pyou is not a valid phonetic in any Chinese name.

The closest thing I can think off the top of my head as another example is Hwang Woo-suk, but he was Korean.

Looking at his publications, he seems to be Korean. You can breathe easy. ;-)
