SEOUL (Reuters) - The president of one of South Korea's most prestigious universities apologised on Wednesday for scientific fraud at his school, saying two fabricated papers on stem cell research had embarrassed the country and science. 

On Tuesday, a investigation panel at Seoul National University said a team led by once-heralded and now disgraced scientist Hwang Woo-suk faked two landmark papers on embryonic stem cells, but did produce the world's first cloned dog.
