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.

Gold Coast Therapeutics, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
This project involves intellectual property that has been licensed from Northwestern University to Gold Coast Therapeutics, a company in which Dr. Thumbikat has equity interests. Gold Coast Therapeutics is developing novel therapies that target mast cells for treating chronic pelvic pain in men and women. This research involves evaluating mast cell inhibition in chronic prostatitis (CP) and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). The close intersection of Gold Coast Therapeutics interests and this research activity result in a perceived conflict of interest that should be managed.
Glycosphingolipids Mediate Diabetic Wound Healing Impairment
Impaired wound healing in individuals with diabetes remains a major health issue that demands new interventions. We have recently discovered evidence that a glycolipid found on skin cell membranes is increased in diabetic skin and, when depleted in diabetic mice, leads to normal wound healing. Using novel gene suppressive and biochemical interventions to deplete this glycolipid, we will test the reversal of the wound healing defect in diabetic mice and will explore how this glycolipid leads to the poor wound healing of diabetes.

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.
