The story is even worse than what is publicly reported. The test was actually not developed by this professor but by one of his postdocs. She happened to be Chinese and her contract was up for renewal, when he saw the potential for commercialization, he did not renew her contract. She only had a work visa and therefore was forced to go back to china. There was more shady stuff and nepotism going on, but I don't remember. This guy 100% deserves everything that is coming for him.
