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.

S-glutathionylation chemistry in fibrotic lung remodeling
PROJECT NARRATIVE Oxidants are molecule that are known to be important to remodeling of lung tissue in patients with asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. However so far antioxidant therapies have failed. We believe that this is due to the non- specific action of generic antioxidants. My laboratory has discovered that oxidants can change the function of proteins, chemical messengers in cells of the lung, by adding a glutathione molecule to these proteins, a process known as protein S-glutathionylation. The goal of this proposal is to understand the importance of the process of S-glutathionylation in patients with asthma or pulmonary fibrosis, and in mouse models of these diseases. The goal is to understand how this process of S-glutathionylation works, and whether the enzymes that regulate this process can be a target for more specific drugs. We believe that these questions are important for translation into clinical practice as we already have data with compounds that can be used clinically.

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.
