Filing Type

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

Poseida Therapeutics

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

Dr. Joung currently has an FCOI management plan for this grant for his interest in Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals. Poseida Therapeutics is a spin-off of Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals and Poseida will use Transposagen genome editing technology. This research project involves the use and development of genome editing technology and the research results from this project could affect the value of Poseida’s and Tranposagen’s technology. The Partners HealthCare Committee on Outside Activities (COA) Financial Interest Review Panel evaluated Dr. Joung’s financial interest and determined that, based on the close connection between the interests of the company and this research, the financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the research.

Listed Research Project
ADVANCING GENE-EDITING NUCLEASES FOR TARGETED GENOME MANIPULATION

Transcription activator-like effector (TALE) nucleases have transformed our ability to perform reverse genetics studies in zebrafish, an important model organism for studying human development and disease. The experiments of this proposal will advance and expand the toolbox of TALE-based technologies available for studying zebrafish including the development of artificial transcription factors, the generation of a comprehensive set of nucleases for disrupting the expression of zebrafish micro RNAs, and the optimization of several technologies for creating conditional alleles. Successful completion of the aims of this proposal will substantially enhance the utility of the zebrafish as an experimental model and provide important advances in the field of genome editing.

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.
