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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

NangioTx Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

The activities with the NangioTx Inc. (the "Company") involve the same technology utilized in the funded research. Rice University determined that this relationship may constitute a conflict of interest because it may be perceived that Dr. Hartgerinkā€™s relationship with the Company could affect the design, conduct, or reporting of his research.

Listed Research Project
Self-assembling Peptide Nanofiber Hydrogels for Nerve Regeneration

Project Narrative One of the most exciting areas of medical research is tissue engineering which promises to supplement our own regenerative ability allowing us to replace or re-grow damaged and diseased tissues and organs. In this proposal we describe an interdisciplinary approach to the design and optimization of a nanostructured matrix made from synthetic peptides which can be delivered by syringe and act to direct the body?s regenerative ability to accelerate the production of blood vessels and neurons. This proposal utilizes these exciting properties to for the regeneration of the peripheral nervous system.

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.
