 Dr. Walsh is co-founder and Chief Scientific Investigator with Maidstone Consulting Group, LLC. She is an established thought leader in the forensic analysis of scientific and biomedical research relevant to issues of potential academic misconduct and false claims concerns. Her background includes expertise in the application of advanced forensic analysis techniques and tools developed by the federal Office for Research Integrity (HHS ORI) throughout the course of research misconduct and false claims review(s); conferring with scientific investigators, healthcare leadership and administration, academic faculty and staff during all forensic assessments. She is recognized as a highly competent advisor by key stakeholders and deciding bodies and officials on all evaluations of potential data manipulation following the conclusion of forensic data analysis. Mary has also helped lead the development of scientific data sequestration and security practices for academic institutions during research misconduct and false claims assessments. Recent academic initiatives include the collaborative design and development of Harvard Medical School’s Research Rigor and Reproducibility program (HMS R3) dedicated to the continued advancement of research excellence at HMS. Her expertise in this area was reflected in her appointment as Special Advisor to the Research Rigor, Reproducibility and Responsibility (R3) Initiative at HMS and her selection as a Bioethics Fellow (2020-2021) within the Harvard Center for Bioethics. 

Mary was a leader within the forensics team at Harvard Medical School for almost a decade. As Chief Scientific Investigator for the Office of Academic and Research Integrity (ARI) she transformed forensics workflows into a recognized programmatic approach for forensic data analysis in the growing field of academic research data forensics. She also served as co-chair of the Forensics Special Interest Group (FSIG) for the national Association of Research Integrity Officers, a subject matter expertise consortium she co-founded specializing in academic research data forensics. Mary has also enjoyed opportunities as a Principal Investigator (PI) leading federally funded cross discipline research teams of data integrity and computational/AI specialists in the development of advanced software platforms for the detection and analysis of image data duplication and manipulation. Prior professional and leadership experiences include service as Assistant Dean for Faculty Affairs at HMS, and Instructor of Anesthesia in the Department of Anesthesia, Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Mary received her B.S. from Marist College in Biology, her M.S. and Ph.D. in Immunology and Microbiology from Albany Medical College and completed her postdoctoral fellowship (Immunology and Physiology) at Harvard Medical School. 

 Dr. Raimondo is a co-founder and Chief Scientific Investigator with Maidstone Consulting Group, LLC. She is an expert in the forensic analysis of scientific research, and her specialties include advanced image and data analysis, including large data sets, across multiple scientific disciplines. Additional expertise includes scientific research and data sequestration in academic research environments. She loves to solve intractable ‘puzzles’ and provide clear, concise and objective data assessments for stakeholders tasked with understanding experimental methodology in the context of potential research misconduct.  

Until June 2022, Corinna was a Senior Compliance Specialist for the Office for Research Integrity at Northwestern University and an Adjunct Professor in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for the McCormick School of Engineering. After completing her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Institut de Science et d’Ingenierie Supramoleculaire of the University of Strasbourg, France, she moved to the US for dual postdoctoral fellowships in Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Northwestern University. This extensive scientific training was followed by a fellowship at the National Academies of Engineering working in the Online Ethics Center. She returned to Northwestern both as an Instructor for their RCR curriculum and as an Investigator supporting research misconduct proceedings at the University. While there, given the importance of having a legal foundation in the compliance world, she completed a Master of Science in Law at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. She has co-chaired until 2021, the Forensic Special Interest Group (FSIG) for the Association of Research Integrity Officers, a subject matter expertise consortium she co-founded establishing discourse on executing effective sequestration and analysis of research data, forensic practice and methodological innovation in research misconduct investigations.  Most recently, Corinna received her certification in data forensics and acquisition through GIAC’s Battlefield Forensics and Acquisition (SANS-GBFA).
