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.

Locana, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Yeo is a co-founder of Locana, Inc. (Locana), acting Chief Scientific Officer (CEO) and holds (b)(4) equity interest. Per Dr. Yeo, the company is based on RNA-targeted Cas9 as a platform technology for potentially multiple applications, however the specific application for commercialization is not known yet. The project proposes to conduct both genome-wide RNAi and overexpression screening in HEK293 cells using the two-dimensional mRNA isoform profiling platform developed in Dr. Yeo’s lab.
Functional RNA elements in the human genome
Our RNA genomics project aims to use genomics tools to systematically elucidate genes, gene networks, and pathways involved in the regulation of alternative splicing in mammalian cells. The proposed research will provide critical molecular insights into regulated RNA processing and its coupling with other steps in gene expression, which will form the basis for development of effective treatment strategies against many RNA- related human diseases.

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.
