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

A major goal of the CGEO proposal almost 5 years ago was to crack the code of making close approximations of any chosen cell type by using a comprehensive library of human transcription factor genes. This dream is now reality and works so well that we formed GCTx to help various biomedical applications.

Listed Research Project
Center for Genomically Engineered Organs

The Center for Genomically Engineered Organs will develop methods for making tissues in laboratories that closely match normal or diseased tissues in humans and animals. Such model tissues will accelerate biomedical research by providing easy ways to conduct preliminary tests of theories of normal tissue function, or that explore the effects of diseases and treatments, before moving to potentially invasive experiments or costly clinical trials. The Center will use cutting edge methods that allow vast number of individual molecules of DNA, RNA, and protein to be visualized in the individual cells of tissues, enable stem cells to be genetically edited and reprogrammed into other cell types, and that permit cells of different types to be assembled into complex vascularized tissues.

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.
