"Issues with false positives"

p. 1

This July 17, 2014 report drafted by the Viral Hemorrahagic Fever Consortium, a group which includes Tulane University, lays the blame on Metabiota Inc. for issues at the lab, saying that the company is failing to abide by an existing agreement on how to report test results and bypassing the Sierra Leonean scientists working there. The report also raises the possibility that Metabiota is culturing blood cells at the lab, something the report says is dangerous. Metabiota founder and chief executive Nathan Wolfe says that Metabiota did not culture blood cells at the lab. He also described the charge that Metabiota bypassed colleagues as "simply false." In an email, Wolfe said: "The report is highly contested."
