A UCSF postdoctoral fellow has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and poisoning of a university lab research associate, the UCSF Police Department reported Tuesday.

Ben Chun Liu, a 38-year-old male Chinese resident employed at UCSF on a work visa, was arrested Nov. 7 for allegedly poisoning the drink of Mei Cao, his female colleague in the UCSF Department of Urology, UCSF police said.

Liu was placed on an immigration hold and remained in custody at the San Francisco County Jail on Monday morning, officers said.

Cao was examined at the UCSF Medical Center and later released, police said.

UCSF Police Department detectives searched the University lab where both Liu and Cao worked, as well as Liu’s home, and recovered evidence of the poisoning, police said.

The motive for the poisoning has not been determined, and there appear to be no other victims or suspects, UCSF police said.

The incident remains under investigation.
