experiments and banned from touching animals for a year<\/strong>, making her the eighth animal tormentor PETA has exposed at the school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jin Zhang was sidelined by the school\u2019s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, the panel responsible for overseeing experiments on animals, after investigators discovered that she continued carving into numerous mice despite being barred from performing surgeries and committed other serious violations of animal welfare rules.<\/p>\n<figure data-media-credits=\"[{&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9

The school required retraining, supervision, and months of monitoring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By early 2025, Zhang\u2019s laboratory was operating under a corrective-action plan. Public records obtained by PETA do not explain why, but this is a sure sign that she and her laboratory members were failing to follow rules and regulations. In February 2025, Zhang appeared before the committee to discuss modifications to the plan, including training requirements, personnel qualifications, surgical activities, and veterinary observation requirements.<\/p>\n<figure data-media-credits=\"[{&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Modified from Figure 1 in Sotskov VP, Pospelov NA, Plusnin VV, Anokhin KV.

The committee investigated, reviewing documents and interviewing staff. What they found was disturbing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staff in Zhang\u2019s laboratory continued drilling into the skulls of mice, injecting viruses into their brains, and implanting devices, despite a suspension of surgical activities. Investigators also found that unqualified personnel removed the adrenal glands of mice before the procedure was approved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee suspended Zhang\u2019s experiments in May 2025, revoked her laboratory access, and requested a written response from Zhang, all while discussing a permanent end to her ability to experiment on animals. The following month, the committee transferred Zhang\u2019s experiments to someone else and barred her from accessing animals or animal facilities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By July 2025, the committee barred Zhang from working with animals for at least one year, stipulating that she must complete remedial training before the committee would consider letting her back in a laboratory.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-irreparably-broken\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Irreparably Broken<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zhang\u2019s case alone would be enough to question whether UMass Chan has the ability to rein in its rogue experimenters. But Zhang is the eighth\u2014EIGHTH\u2014UMass Chan experimenter who PETA has exposed to be incapable of following the rules, causing immense suffering to animals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-get-involved\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Involved<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please add your voice to ours. TAKE ACTION today and urge UMass Chan to get out of the cruel and pointless animal tormenting business altogether and switch to human-relevant, non-animal research methods.<\/p>\n<p><input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"1200484\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareShare on Facebook PostShare on X ShareShare on LinkedIn Published August 13, 2026 by PETA Staff. 4 min read A University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School (UMass Chan) experimenter was caught violating so many animal welfare rules that she was kicked off her own experiments and banned from touching animals for a year, making her [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7038323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11766],"tags":[1330,11195,21014,28992,200915,11149,86885],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-7038322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animal","tag-animal","tag-breaking","tag-caught","tag-chan","tag-experimenter","tag-rules","tag-umass"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
