Dr. Gary Huber of Harvard University was a scientific researcher for the tobacco industry for many years. His emphysema project at Harvard University was paid for directly by the tobacco industry law firm of Shook, Hardy and Bacon. When plaintiff's attorney Ronald L. Motley approached Huber with internal documents that described his project as a public relations ploy, Huber became a witness against the tobacco industry in the Medicaid lawsuit cases. (Taken from a PBS Frontline interview with Huber.)

Huber appears to have entered into a relationship with the tobacco industry around 1971, offering to help design a research program for them that "meets their needs" [1]

Huber has also worked for the University of Texas Health Science Center. According to an article from FAIR, Huber left another job, "heading the University of Kentucky's Tobacco and Health Research Institute, after evidence surfaced of further payments from R.J. Reynolds, Brown and Williamson, and the Tobacco Institute (UPI, 3/31/81)."[2]
