Dig Into University Researchers' Outside Income and Conflicts of Interest
Published Dec. 6, 2019
This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
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.

Caribou Biosciences, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Professor Doudna is a co-founder of Caribou Biosciences and holds equity in the company. The institution concluded that Professor Doudna's financial interest in Caribou Biosciences represents a Financial Conflict of Interest because the work conducted in the Electron Microscopy of Biological Macromolecules grant may provide specific knowledge about "both provide fundamental insights into CRISPR-Cas biology and enable application of these systems for programmable target modification or elimination." Key research programs at Caribou focus on further development of Cas9 and CRISPR technologies with improved genome engineering activity. Our mission is to enable any genome to be modified at any site in any way.” Caribou Biosciences' own statement, "Ongoing work at founders' laboratories and at Caribou continues to explore the basic mechanisms of CRISPR, which may allow us to create future innovations based on this remarkable system.", illustrates that Professor Doudna's ongoing research may have direct and significant impact on the company's work.
Electron Microscopy of Biological Macromolecules
Visualizing the structure of biological molecular machines is crucial for a mechanistic understanding of normal cellular function and abnormal disease states that can lead to therapeutic treatment. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is ideally suited for these studies. This Program Project represents a synergistic integration of cryo-EM and biochemical expertise for studies that address fundamental biological questions of great medical significance. It also allows effective sharing of the large costs associated with cryo-EM, while it pushes the capabilities of the cryo-EM technique.

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.
