Justine Saade-Sergent (March 31, 1950 – April 11, 1994) was a researcher in the field of cognitive neuroscience.
She received her PhD from McGill University.
She was an associate professor of neurology and neurosurgery at the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University from 1979 - 1982.Sergent was considered a top scientist in her field, until she was anonymously accused of violating research ethics.
The stress of the attack on her character and on her research was so much that she and her husband committed suicide together less than two years later.
Three years after her death, the inquiry was unable to come up with any evidence of fraud.
