A medical researcher and professor who had been working most recently at Ohio State University is facing federal charges in what prosecutors say was a sophisticated scheme to transfer U.S.-backed research to China.

Song Guo Zheng, 57, of suburban Hilliard, and his research groups secured more than US$4.3 million in grants from the National Institutes of Health for projects while receiving overlapping funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday in Columbus.

Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Preston Deavers ordered Zheng held without bond because he is a flight risk. The case will be presented to a federal grand jury for possible indictment. The investigation is continuing. An affidavit filed with the complaint alleges that Zheng has been participating since 2013 in a Chinese Talent Plan, a program established by the Chinese government to recruit those with knowledge or access to foreign technology intellectual property.
