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.

Listed Research Project
Isolating circulating tumor cells using a centrifuge on a chip

Determining if a patient's cancer will respond to next generation targeted anti-cancer drugs requires access to tumor sample for genetic testing. In many cases this may not be possible because the primary tumor has been removed and recurrence is in a difficult to access site, or direct biopsy would be too risky. The 'Centrifuge o a Chip' microtechnology that we are developing will allow for concentration and enrichment of rare tumor cells which are present within the patient's bloodstream which can provide genetic information that will more appropriately direct anti-cancer treatment and thus potentially improve overall outcome and survival.

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.
