Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
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.

Cardiomyogen
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Charles Bridges (the Principal Investigator in this study) is a named inventor on issued patents relating to gene and cell delivery to the heart. These patents were filed through and assigned to University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Bridges owns (b)(4) equity in the company.
Translational Studies in Heart Failure Gene Therapy
This proposal will combine an extremely efficient method for delivering genes (DNA) to the heart. These genes when expressed have been shown to be highly effective for the treatment of heart failure in animals and in humans. If successful, new and more effective therapies for heart failure will result that may one day improve the quality of life for thousands of patients, save thousands of lives and save billions of health care dollars?

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.
