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.

NOVEL SYNTHETIC SDG TO TREAT TRAUMA-INDUCED INFLAMMATION
Trauma and its related syndromes, including paralysis and pain, represent a significant public health problem, and continues to present many clinical challenges due to the fact that current therapeutics have unwanted side-effects and/or are ineffective at treating the constellation of associated pathologies. This proposal seeks to investigate a novel synthetic agent generated from harmless raw materials (vanillin and sugar) with potent anti- inflammatory and antioxidant properties as a potential therapeutic that provides neuroprotection, boosts the endogenous antioxidant defenses and treats pain. Our complementary studies in mouse and culture model systems will identify the mechanistic timing and contributions of pertinent cellular pathways to cell damage and have high potential for developing a novel and effective treatment for this important human health problem.

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.
