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

Ultivue, Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

Dr. Yin serves as a consultant to Ultivue. The company has licensed the DNA-PAINT technology and is focused on developing commercially available reagents that could be used to give a microscope the ability to easily perform multiplexed super-resolution imaging. In Dr. Yin’s role as consultant to the company, he advises them on the productization of the already invented and developed DNA-PAINT technology into robust reagents for the general markets. The research project aims to offer a new approach to biological imaging, new discoveries in breast cancer, and new open-access resources containing proteomic data at the sub-cellular level, for any cell in an entire centimeter sized histological tissue section. This project is made possible by technology innovations that combine the super-resolution imaging capabilities of multiplexed DNA-PAINT with automated image acquisition and “big data” management strategies, thus making improvements over current methods that emphasize either super-resolution or tissue-scale data.

Listed Research Project
The Molecular Atlas Project

Just as Google Maps revolutionized the way we view and interact with geography, the Molecular Atlas Project aims to revolutionize the way we view and interact with biological tissues. This combined wetware, hardware, and software approach to imaging is a proteome visualization pipeline for length scales ranging from the molecular to the macroscopic. Completion will enhance our understanding of the human body and its ailments with unprecedented detail, while laying a foundation for next generation therapeutics - try it yourself and explore the possibilities at www.molecular-atlas.net

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.
