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.

Exicure
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
This research tests therapeutic approaches using engineered nanoparticles and spherical nucleic acids that are licensed to Exicure (formerly AuraSense, Therapeutics, LLC), an entity in which the investigator discloses equity interest in the form of stock options. Given the close relationship of the work and goals of Exicure and this research activity, continued development of intellectual property relative to these engineered nanoparticles and spherical nucleic acids may result in a perceived conflict of interest that should be managed.
Nucleic Acid-Based Nanoconstructs for the Treatment of Cancer
Northwestern University Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (NU-CCNE) for Nucleic Acid-Based Nanoconstructs for the Treatment of Cancer Northwestern University PIs: Chad A. Mirkin and Leonidas Platanias Much still remains to be learned about the genetic basis of cancer and how it can be analyzed and treated. Current treatment methodologies fall short of providing efficacious, targeted, precision therapies geared towards the individual patient. Due to their novel chemical, biological, and physical properties, nucleic-acid based nanoconstructs can be used to gain access to privileged intracellular environments, discover new aspects of cancer biology, and exploit nanostructure-biomolecular interactions to create effective treatment options. The Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence for Nucleic Acid-Based Nanoconstructs for the Treatment of Cancer, headquartered at Northwestern University (NU), proposes to explore these vast possibilities by applying a novel class of nanostructure genetic constructs - the spherical nucleic acid and variants of it - for the study and treatment of brain and prostate cancer.

We're still reporting about conflicts of interest. Is there something you'd like to tell us about this disclosure?
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.
