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.

Tissue-dynamics Imaging for Therapeutic Efficacy in Ovarian Cancer

Tissue-Dynamics Imaging for Therapeutic Efficacy in Ovarian Cancer Project Narrative: Tissue-dynamics imaging is a radically new platform technology that uses intracellular motion as an internal vital-signs monitor. It bridges between advances in the physics of light scattering in tissue and cancer biology to solve the important clinical problem of patient stratification and therapy selection. At the completion of this project intracellular motio will be established as a novel drug response biomarker that could transform personalized cancer care.

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.
