Disgraced cloning scientist Hwang Woo-suk was today fired as professor of Seoul National University in South Korea over his stem cell fraud.

Hwang’s six co-workers at the school also received disciplinary measures ranging from suspension to cuts in salaries.

The university announced the decision after a meeting of its disciplinary committee, saying Hwang and the co-workers caused the school’s honour to fall.
