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.

Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

Dr. Kuppusamy is in receipt of income from the licensing of intellectual property (patents) covering oxygen measuring technology, which is being studied in connection with this project, through Ohio State University.

The Conflict of Interest Committee determined that, given Dr. Kuppusamy’s role as PI in this project, his financial interest in the patents could significantly and directly affect the design, conduct, and reporting of the research.

Listed Research Project
Probes and Methods for Clinical Oximetry

Disease and injury produce numerous changes in homeostasis, or the maintenance of a normal, healthy condition. One such change is the oxygen level in the affected tissues. Measurement of tissue oxygen is important in terms of diagnosis, long-term tracking, and treatment in a number of applications, including wound healing, cancer, and myocardial infarction (a heart attack). In this proposal, we intend to characterize and test several new, topical and implantable sensors designed for use in human patients to obtain information on the local oxygen level in tissues and organs.

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.
