SOLVED. Two graduate students in a lab in Boston [s]

[Debora]

Has anyone read a book about two graduate students in a lab in Boston? The book is about the politics and rivalries of life in a lab. One of the students falsifies data....?

Debora, it's best to add more descriptions to your post title. People are more likely to click/see it.

Also, how many years ago did you read this?
What genre? Historical fiction, political thriller, comedy, etc?
Anything about the cover?
Feel free to post any details you remember.

Here's a free 'bump' for fall. Come back in a few months to bump again, ok? Otherwise, as we do housekeeping on threads, we might conclude that this thread has been 'abandoned' and move it to the Abandoned folder.

Intuition?

a struggling cancer lab at Boston's Philpott Institute becomes the stage for its researchers' personalities and passions, and for the slippery definitions of freedom and responsibility in grant-driven American science. When the once-discredited R-7 virus, the project of playboy postdoc Cliff, seems to reduce cancerous tumors in mice, lab director Sandy Glass insists on publishing the preliminary results immediately, against the advice of his more cautious codirector, Marion Mendelssohn. The research team sees a glorious future ahead, but Robin, Cliff's resentful ex-girlfriend and co-researcher, suspects that the findings are too good to be true and attempts to prove Cliff's results are in error. The resulting inquiry spins out of control.

I do believe this is Intuition after reading reviews. Moving to Solved.
