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 Conflict of Interest with

Bristol Myers Squibb

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Other : Individual was founder of Padlock Therapeutics which was acquired by Bristol Myers Squibb in 2016; monies due are based upon milestones

The acquired company was developing inhibitors targeting the protein arginine deiminases (PADs), a family of enzymes that are the focus of the current project.

Listed Research Project
Bacterial peptidylarginine deiminase, a link between gums and joint disease

Narrative Porphyromonas gingivalis, an established periodontal pathogen, is able to produce citrullinated proteins through the action of an enzyme (PPAD) unique to this bacterium. Citrullinated bacterial proteins are able to induce human fibroblasts to produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) which can stimulate the bone resorption process implicated in the pathogenesis in periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PPAD may also directly promote breakdown of self-tolerance in susceptible individuals to generate autoantibodies against citrullinated self- proteins in the development of RA.

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.
