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.

Mitogen Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Mao is co-founder of a new startup company called Mitogen, and holds equity in this non-public company. Columbia has determined that the company’s aims (commercialization of products relating to regeneration of the knee meniscus) are related to this R01 award; that the outcome of this research could affect the company or Dr. Mao’s significant financial interest in the company; and that the design, conduct, and/or reporting of this research could be affected by this financial interest.
Meniscus Regeneration by Endogenous Stem/Progenitor Cells
The meniscus is a wedge-shaped tissue in the knee between the thigh bone and leg bone, serving as an indispensable cushion without which the bones do not fit. Meniscus trauma is a common injury, and increases the risk of arthritis. We have discovered that two proteins can induce the regeneration of the knee meniscus by host endogenous stem cells, and plan to test the efficacy of this strategy in a preclinical model.

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.
