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.

Clinical Gene Networks
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Johan Bjorkegren (a Co-Principal Investigator on this study) is the founder and former CEO of Clinical Gene Networks (CGN), a privately-held company which seeks to commercialize clinical gene networks underlying coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Dr. Bjorkegren serves as Chairman of the Board (uncompensated), and owns equity in the company. Dr. Bjorkegren also receives financial compensation as a consultant for CGN.
Network-driven drug repurposing approaches to treat coronary artery disease
PROJECT NARRATIVE These studies are relevant to public health for two reasons. First, the may provide proof-of- concept evidence for the use of network-driven computational approaches to identify new therapies to target complex disease like coronary artery disease (CAD). Secondly, they may demonstrate that quantitative non-invasive imaging is an efficient platform for measuring drug efficacy in a pre-clinical setting, for a smooth, fast translation of new therapeutics into clinical trials.

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.
