	Robert Gallo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gallo was born in Waterbury, Connecticut to a working-class family of Italian immigrants.
		Gallo states that his choice of profession was influenced by the early death of his sister from leukemia, a disease to which he initially dedicated much of his research.
		In 1984, Gallo and his collaborators published a series of four papers in the research journal Science arguing that HIV, a retrovirus that had recently been identified in AIDS patients by Luc Montagnier and his collaborators at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, was the cause of AIDS.

		Robert Gallo: The first documented occurrence -- the evidence that one infection was found in a human -- was in the 1960's.
		Robert Gallo: I have to say that we put our money where our voice is, and our institute has a major clinical research program to find new ways for treatments that are less toxic.
		Robert Gallo: I think the major challenge to the scientist is to gain sufficient understanding, coupled with good common practical sense, to be able to take research that gives therapy to practical feasibility for the third world.

		Gallo did not deny that they had preceded him in isolating the virus, but he argued that it was proof of the causal relationship and the development of the blood test which were most important, and he maintained that these advances had been accomplished using a virus which had been independently isolated in his laboratory.
		Gallo's claim to have independently isolated the virus was further damaged when it was discovered that in the 1984 SCIENCE article announcing his discovery of HTLV-3 he had accidently published a photograph of Montagnier's virus.
		Gallo has actually received the coveted Albert Lasker Award twice, once in 1982 for his work on the viral origins of cancer, and again in 1986 for his research on AIDS.

	Media & Society \| New Book Portrays HIV Co-Discoverer Gallo as a 'Megalomaniac' Whose Errors Cost Lives - ...
		Crewdson writes that although Gallo "insisted" that he had isolated the retrovirus that was causing AIDS, this virus "was actually stolen in 1983 from French scientists who called their virus LAV." Gallo called the virus HTLV-III, named after human T-cell leukemia virus, which he had previously discovered.
		Gallo also "tried to thwart" an investigation into the issue by the HHS Office of Scientific Integrity by refusing to release important documents, such as his lab's notebooks, Crewdson states.
		Gallo could use the media attention surrounding the release of "Science Fictions" to suggest that scientific attention now turn to HHV-6A, a virulent strain of human herpes virus 6 that is "the real problem in AIDS and other diseases," Charles Ortleb states in a

	Letter to Die Gruenen regarding Paul Ehrlich Prize for Robert Gallo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Robert Gallo, and his co-workers were investigated for fraud by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and eventually by the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Committee on Energy and Commerce, US House of Representatives.
		Gallo was also found to have provided false or misleadingly incomplete information to the US patent office in order to claim originality on the HIV blood test patent, and to avoid admitting that he had violated the terms of the agreement under which he had received the sample from Montagnier.
		While Gallo is not directly responsible for Duesberg’s misfortune, the same types of institutional skullduggery that kept Gallo in a position that he was obviously unfit for have kept Duesberg from doing the science he is so well trained for.

		Gallo's influence, the weight of US government funded medical research institutions and his frequent caustic remarks about competing scientists, helped him in the race to be the first to be published and to be the first to obtain a US patent on a blood test.
		Gallo had to agree that 'his' virus, HTLV-III, was genetically virtually identical to LAV, far closer than any others, meaning that it had almost certainly come from the same person.

		Gallo's eventual admission that the virus he claimed to have discovered had actually been supplied to him by Montaignier was widely savored as the downfall of an arrogant, abusive, globe-trotting self-promoter who was ultimately undone by his overweening ambition to secure a Nobel Prize.
		Like the investigators who came before him, Crewdson is unable to establish definitively that Gallo and his team purposely substituted the virus first isolated by Montaignier for their own (there remains the possibility of inadvertent cross contamination in the lab).
		But there is extraordinary evidence that Gallo's lab engaged in deception and falsification of data to preserve the appearance of discovery.
