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.

Amprion, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Soto holds a majority ownership in Amprion, Inc., a private, for-profit diagnostics company focused on highly sensitive detection and prognosis of diseases caused by misfolded proteins, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other human neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Amprion, Inc. has an exclusive option to license technology from the University of Texas to further develop the technology. The research will utilize the related technology and include the application of the technology to a new area, traumatic brain injury.
The Effect of Traumatic Brain Injury on Tau Pathology by a Potential Seeding Mechanism
Project Narrative This proposal assesses the effect of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury on tau aggregation pathology and how it links to certain neurodegenerative diseases by a potential protein seeding mechanism. The effect of mild TBI events could initiate and enhance tau pathology by promoting the formation of the first misfolded seeds, and these nuclei can continuously propagate protein misfolding and aggregation by a seeding mechanism throughout the brain. The proposed research is of major significance to public health because the results obtained in this project will aid in understanding the etiology, processes, and connected relationship of traumatic brain injury, tau misfolding and aggregation, and disease as well as the prospective capability for early diagnosis of tau affiliated diseases.

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.
