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

Synoxa Sciences, Inc.

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

The SFI of the Investigator is related to the funded research since the technology being licensed to the Entity is based on the original IP from this project. The Entity, with which the Investigator has multiple relationships, has licensed the technology and plans to build on these initial results. The Institution has determined that since the technology could be further validated as a result of the research, these financial interests could conflict with project.

Listed Research Project
Synthesis and Chemical Biology of Oxazolidinone and Pyrrolidine Natural Products

The development of new treatments for resistant bacterial infections and aggressive cancers is a pressing need for public health. Natural products or their analogs have served as a major source of new classes of drugs over the last century and this proposal targets the study of a new class of natural products that have potential to be employed as novel treatments for human disease.

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.
