精准医疗（Precision Medicine，PM）是一种医疗模型，可根据个人患者的具体情况制定医疗决策，治疗，实践或产品，从而提出医疗保健的个性化要求。更通俗的讲，精准医疗是一种将个人基因、环境与生活习惯差异考虑在内的疾病预防与处置的新兴方法。
在2006年，杜克大学Anil Potti的团队在国际顶级医学期刊新英格兰医学杂志NEJM，JAMA 及Nature Medicine 等杂志上发表了几篇论文，报道某些基因表达特征预示了患者对化学疗法的反应，这也算是精准医疗的萌芽。但是，很快两名外部生物统计学家就对该研究提出了担忧。
2010年，杜克大学（Duke）决定让Anil Potti休假，并根据他的工作暂停了三项临床试验。 几个月后，Potti辞职了。后来，Potti的众多顶级研究成果都被撤回，杜克大学在临床试验中面临患者提起的诉讼，这直接导致杜克大学卷入了学术不端的漩涡。
2015年，根据杜克大学的调查和ORI的审查，官方得出结论，Anil Potti在资助申请，提交的手稿和9篇研究论文中包含了虚假的研究数据。除其他问题外，Potti更篡改了数据集，以使药物反应预测变量看起来更准确。
到2021年4月15日，Anil Potti被撤回了NEJM，JAMA，Nature Medicine，PNAS 等14篇文章，同时更正了PNAS，JCO 等7篇文章。

临床试验仅招募了4名患者，而且对于达沙替尼的治疗都不应答，但是在Anil Potti的研究结果报告中指出：33名患者中有6名对达沙替尼呈阳性反应；
Anil Potti更改了数据集，以提高治疗反应的预测指标的准确性：在提交给临床癌症研究的手稿中，Anil Potti逆转了133名受试者中24名阿霉素预测因子的反应者状态；并更改了89个样本中46个的癌症复发表型；
到2021年4月15日，Anil Potti被撤回了NEJM，JAMA，Nature Medicine，PNAS 等14篇文章，同时更正了PNAS，JCO 等7篇文章。具体撤稿及纠正的文章如下：
