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.

NemaMetrix LLC
Other : Management Role
Dr. Shawn Lockery is Professor of Biology and Director of UO Institute of Neuroscience. He is also co-founder and Chief Science Officer of NemaMetrix, LLC, a UO startup, in which he declares a (b)(4) equity in the company. The company conducts research and development in the area of drug screening. Lockery indicates that some of his research is directly related to the research activities and profit-making interests of NemaMetrix. Dr. Lockery declared receiving compensation from NemaMetrix LLC below the threshold.
The focus of the sponsored project (UO Grant# 280930) is to: (1) measure the effect of pharmacological interventions on the lifespan of multiple nematode species, (2) evaluate the impact of pharmacological interventions on physiological and biochemical measures of health, and (3) analyze the specific molecular and physiological functions hypothesized to underlie intervention-induced increases in lifespan and health measures. This project will utilize high precision, high throughput methods for characterizing healthspan biomarkers using technologies that are licensed or were developed by Dr. Lockery's company, NemaMetrix.
Since this project adapts the technologies that NemaMetrix LLC developed for the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, it would appear that this relationship could affect the design, conduct, and reporting of this research.
Also, since this research project will expand the use of microfluidics combined with pharmacological interventions to provide breakthroughs in prolonging healthy states much later into life, this project would appear to expand NemaMetrix LLC business opportunities. Since this project is directly and significantly related to and could benefit NemaMetrix LLC, this management plan is required by the UO Policy for Conflict of Interest in Research.
Genetic variation underlying the response to longevity interventions
We have learned a great deal about the biology underlying the normal progression toward aging, including identifying specific response systems that can help to delay the onset of the loss of biological function usually associated with growing older. Our next steps are to identify drugs that may be able to activate these systems in the absence of their usual cues (e.g., starvation and stress), thereby preserving human health and normal activity well into old age.

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.
