Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

ARMGO

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. Marks owns equity in ARMGO Pharma Inc. and is a member of the company’s Board of Directors and chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board. In addition, ARMGO has licensed intellectual property from Columbia arising from Dr. Marks’ Columbia lab, and is engaged in drug development involving this technology.

The company’s efforts may benefit from the outcome of research under this grant, specifically a pilot project titled "The project is titled “Novel approach to modeling pathogenicity of CPVT mutations for improving clinical management" that is funded through the CTSA. In light of these factors, Columbia has determined that the outcome of this research (pilot project) could affect the company and Dr. Marks’ financial interests in ARMGO, and that the design, conduct, and/or reporting of this research (pilot project) could be affected by Dr. Marks’ interests in ARMGO.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

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.
