Testimony: Elizabeth Holmes Mislead Investors with Use of Schering-Plough Logo

One week after a retired Pfizer scientist testified that Theranos inappropriately used the pharma giant’s company logo in marketing materials sent to Walgreens, suggesting its participation in research, a second researcher from a different company made a similar claim.

The Wall Street Journal reported that in testimony this week in the ongoing fraud trial of Elizabeth Holmes, immunology expert Constance Cullen, who headed up test development at Schering-Plough Corp., revealed that Theranos had also inappropriately attached Schering-Plough Corp’s logo to data issued to potential investors. The use of the logo suggested that Schering Plough, which is part of Merck, had validated the claims of Theranos regarding its blood-testing technology.
