Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
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.

Beam Therapeutics
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Beam is a therapeutics company using base editing technology to develop therapeutics in humans. This proposal is to directly improve base editing. While this would never be provided to the company pre-publication.
Expanding the Scope of Base Editing
Project Narrative: Expanding the Scope of Base Editing We recently pioneered ?base editing?, a new form of genome editing that directly changes individual target DNA base pairs, thereby allowing single-letter mutations that cause human diseases to be studied or corrected. We propose to develop new base editing agents that can operate on a much larger number of disease-causing mutations than could previously be targeted, with greater efficiency and higher precision. The resulting next- generation base editors will advance these agents substantially closer to their potential use in the clinic to treat patients that suffer from diseases with a genetic component.

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.
