    The research work of professor John Corbett McDonald, an emeritus professor in the department of epidemiology, biostatistics and occupational health at McGill, is now under review after allegations of research misconduct.

    McDonald retired from McGill in September 1988, after more than two decades as a McGill epidemiology professor. According to a recent episode of CBC’s The National, McDonald received at least $1 million between 1966 and 1972 for research into the health effects of chrysotile asbestos from the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association, which received a large portion of its funding from the asbestos mining giant Johns-Manville.
