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

EdenRoc Science

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

This project may involve the testing of NAD boosters as a way to slow down aging in these rapidly aging (ICE) mice. EdenRoc is interested in NAD boosters to treat diseases in humans such as mitochondrial diseases and fatty liver.

Listed Research Project
Role of epigenetic decay in cell senescence and aging

PROJECT NARRATIVE The increasing health burden of the world's aging population underscores the need to understand the biological mechanisms of aging and develop therapies to prolong our healthspan. There is emerging evidence that aging is due, in part, to a progressive disruption in how our DNA is packaged within the nucleus as a result of having to repair broken DNA. To test this hypothesis, we have generated a mouse called ?ICE? (for inducible changes in epigenetics) that allows us to disrupt DNA packaging and study its effects on cell senescence and aging, providing clues to why we age and a tool to discover interventions that may extend healthspan in humans.

If you see an error in the database or a reason we should not disclose a record, please contact us at [email protected] and we'll evaluate it on a case-by-case basis.
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.
