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.

Dr. Wang's conflict arises due to his proprietary interest as an inventor of patented intellectual property which is being evaluated or developed in this research.
Biomimetic Coacervate Delivery of Muscle Stem Cell to Improve Cardiac Repair
Cellular cardiomyoplasty, which involves the transplantation of exogenous cells into the heart, is a promising approach to repair injured myocardium and improve cardiac function. Muscle-derived Stem Cells (MDSCs) represent a potential therapeutic cell source for treating patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, several limitations, such as a poor delivery approach of the cells (direct intramyocardial injection in PBS that leads to limited cell retention and survival as well as the low cardiomyogenic potential of th MDSCs, may limit the cardiac repair/regenerative potential of the MDSCs, which is the primary focus of the application. Therefore, the focus of this proposal will be to combine a new coacervate technology (using fibroblast growth factor 2 to promote angiogenesis) with MDSCs to further improve cardiac repair; moreover, we will utilize Wnt- 11, a molecule required for cardiogenesis, to enhance the cardiomyogenic differentiation of the MDSCs and potentially further improve cardiac repair in vivo when injected directly into injured myocardium.

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.
