Dr. Dhar holds an equity interest in Partikula, the company that licensed her Intellectual Property utilized in the research.

Listed Research Project
Epigenetic priming in pancreatic cancer chemotherapy

The proposed research is relevant to public health because pancreatic cancer is a dire problem in the US with an estimated death of about 40,000 people annually. Since the current standard of care i.e., nucleoside analogs are not very effective, a novel combined epigenetic-chemotherapeutic care will act as a superior treatment regimen necessary for improving survival in pancreatic cancer patients.

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.
