Neurobiologist Ye Bing is returning to China to work at Nanjing University, and he insists his decision has nothing to do with the suicide of fellow professor Wang Danhao on the same campus just six months prior.

Wang committed suicide at the University of Michigan's lab on March 19 after being questioned by Homeland Security officers the day before.
Ye, a decorated scholar who once worked at Michigan, says his move was motivated purely by career aspirations.
