Woo Suk Hwang, the infamous former star of South Korea's stem-cell 
program, has restarted his cloning research in Thailand in recent months, 
according to news reports.

Dr. Hwang was fired last year by Seoul National University after it was 
revealed that his team had faked its much-heralded claim of using cloning 
techniques to create colonies of human embryonic stem cells.

Two months ago, the scientist moved his operations to Thailand, where he 
is conducting cloning research using animal eggs and human cells, report 
Agence France-Presse and the Associated Press.

An article published in the September 27 issue of Nature reported that the 
Thai government was not aware of Dr. Hwang's activities.
