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.

Abreos Biosciences
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Messmer holds (b)(4) equity interest in Abreos Biosciences as the co-founder and receives income as the Chief Executive Officer. The company has licensed DNA nanoparticle technology from UCSD of which Dr. Messmer is the inventor. Abreos Biosciences develops lateral flow assays that measure the activity of biologics. This technology is the basis for this fellowship study. The goal of this project is to create DNA nanoparticles that specifically bind to CLL cells, which could be used for diagnostic testing, in vivo targeting, and drug delivery.
Targeting Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia with DNA Nanoparticles
The goal of this project is to develop a new type of therapeutic delivery vehicle for leukemia that is made of DNA and can specifically grab on to cancer cells while avoiding healthy cells. When attached to drugs, these DNA particles can potentially kill cancer cells while preventing toxic side effects.

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.
