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.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. Kron's research focuses on defining roles for chromatin modifications and cell cycle regulators in DNA damage checkpoint response and developing novel mass spectrometry approaches for quantitative phosphoproteomics. Dr. Kron has Intellectual property that he has licensed to this company, which deals with molecular assemblies that regulate information flow in cells.

Listed Research Project
Radiation response within the tumor microenvironment

Narrative Radiation therapy is a widely used treatment for cancer, but cures a minority of patients. One hypothesis is that inadequate blood flow in tumors protects some cells from radiation. This project will use advanced imaging methods to examine how radiation affects cancer cells in experimental tumors, and how this relates to blood flow. We will then apply systems biology approaches to begin to model how cancer cells survive radiation and how we might achieve better results.

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.
