Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

A Cytomegalovirus-based Vaccine Targeting the Pre-erythrocytic Stage of Malaria

NARRATIVE Developing a vaccine against malaria has been challenging and this parasitic disease remains one of the most frequent causes of death for small children worldwide. We propose a fundamentally new way of vaccinating against malaria that relies on the unique biology and immunology of a common virus: cytomegalovirus. Our research aims at stopping the malaria parasite at the liver stage, the site of greatest vulnerability, by using cytomegalovirus to elicit and maintain liver-stage specific cellular immune responses that will protect for life.

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.
