Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest

This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Pinteon Therapeutics, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Pinteon Therapeutics, Inc., has licensed a specified subset of patents related to Pin1. Because the research results could be relevant to determining whether Pin1 is a new drug target for asthma would be useful in developing diagnostics and therapeutics for asthma, and the investigator’s significant financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the PHS-funded research, BIDMC has determined that the private equity constitutes a financial conflict of interest with the research for this grant under applicable PHS regulations (45 C.F.R. §50.601 et seq.).
Role of the Prolyl Isomerase Pin1 in the Development and Treatment of Asthma
We have recently identified a unique enzyme called Pin1 as a major regulator of cell signaling under physiological and pathological conditions. The goal of this proposal is to determine whether Pin1 regulates cell signaling in different cells important for asthma development and to evaluate the potential of the new Pin1 enzymatic inhibitors that we have identified in treating asthma using molecular, cellular and mouse models as well as human asthma specimens. These studies would lead to a better understanding of the basic mechanisms of asthma development and might eventually lead to more effective therapies for asthma.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
