A leading cancer research center in Texas took action against a handful of faculty members for sharing confidential information and failing to disclose foreign ties, it says.

A leading cancer research center in Houston, Texas has taken action against a handful of faculty members for sharing confidential information and failing to disclose foreign ties, according to statements from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

According to documents and statements reviewed by CNN, five scientists at the institution were flagged by the US National Institutes of Health -- which funds biomedical research across the country --"regarding a variety of threats, including data security and intellectual property loss," according to a statement by the cancer center.

In March, three professional groups for Chinese and Chinese American scientists wrote an open letter in Science Magazine to express"concerns about the recent political rhetoric and policies that single out students and scholars of Chinese descent working in the United States as threats to US national interests.
