Filing Type

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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Ranomics, Inc.

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

Dr. Roth is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Ranomics, Inc and accompanying this appointment was a stock grant currently representing (b)(4) of equity of this private company.

Ranomics is developing functional assays for human disease genes, and applying these assays systematically to mutagenized libraries to predict the functional effects of human variation. The Roth lab is also systematically carrying out mutagenesis and functional assays to predict the functional effects of human variation. Although Dr. Roth notes that Ranomics is not using the same technology that the Roth lab is using, you also note that success in your lab could potentially impact the company favorably if it demonstrated the viability of this general approach.

Listed Research Project
Genomic Analysis of Network Perturbations in Human Disease

New information that will emerge from the proposed work should lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in human disease. We propose to improve our understanding of human disease by analyzing how disease-causing mutations relate to network perturbations. An important outcome of this work will be methods and approaches that can better established causality associated with mutations in disease genes and mechanistic insights that can better direct therapeutic intervention.

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.
