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.

Bone Biologics
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Professor Wu will be responsible for the formulation of PEGylation, the process of covalently attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer chains of various sizes to a drug or therapeutic protein, such as growth factors. He is a company founder. He will supervise (b)(6), a research fellow in biomaterials involved in this project. Professor Wu is a co-inventor of intellectual property involving the use of the protein Nell-1 in bone formation which will be further developed in this project.
NELL-1 Systemic Therapy for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease, with an estimated biomedical and economic burden projected to reach $240 billion worldwide by 2040. New anabolic, anti-osteoclastic therapies for osteoporosis are urgently needed. Our innovative solution uses NELL-1, a bone-forming Wnt activator, as an entirely novel systemic therapy to reverse osteoporotic bone loss.

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.
