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

Kymera Therapeutics

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Payment for services (e.g., consulting fees, honoraria, paid authorship)

The Covered Individual receives monetary payment for consulting services provided to Kymera Therapeutics, Inc., a company developing therapeutics that redirect the ubiquitin proteasome system to degrade disease-causing proteins. The business interests of the company are related to the CI’s research; some of the results or outcomes of the research may be of direct interest to the company.

Listed Research Project
Development of proteasome adaptors to catalytically deplete specific proteins from cells

We propose to develop a versatile technology platform to rapidly deplete specific proteins from cells by shunting them into the cell's own protein degradation machinery, the ubiquitin proteasome system. The technology is designed to serve as a research tool, for therapeutic target validation, and, in principle, as a molecularly-targeted therapy approach. It is based on chimeric proteasome adaptors, we call degradons, which consist of two parts: (i) a recognition element composed of an affinity domain evolved or designed to bind to an oncogenic target, and (ii) a proteasome-binding carrier element, which feeds the target directly into the degradation machinery.

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.
