Listed Research Project
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.

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.
