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.

A New Genus of Ubiquitin-Based Anti-inflammatories for COPD
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are major causes of death in the US and there are few treatments that prevent inflammation and slow disease progression. This inflammation is caused from the release of proteins, called cytokines and proteinases. We have discovered a new pathway of inflammation and discovered a unique drug that combats inflammation in emphysema. This discovery led us to propose a drug development program that eventually seeks approval by the FDA.

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.
