Listed Research Project
Focal Adhesion Kinase - Tumor Biology and Therapeutics

This research will target FAK scaffolding function and validate it as a therapeutic target using our FAK scaffold inhibitors. It will define molecular mechanisms of sensitivity to FAK scaffold inhibitors compared to FAK-kinase inhibitors. It will define mechanisms of resistance to Y397 FAK scaffold inhibitors and develop ways to overcome this resistance in cancer stem cells and patient-derived xenograft models. In addition, this translational application will develop FAK-related biomarkers in human samples to define subsets of patients/tumors that will respond to FAK-targeted therapeutics and be relevant to clinical trials.

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.
