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

Sirtris-aGSK company

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

This outside activity has a nexus with the investigator's research activities because the

outside activity arises from and relies upon the academic expertise that qualifies this

individual to participate in this PHS funded research activity.

Listed Research Project
Molecular mechanisms of histone modification

The epigenome is an additional layer of chemical information that acts on top of the genome and informs which genes are expressed and which are genes are silenced. Much like the genetic code, the complex array of these chemical 'marks' is proposed to act as an epigenetic code or language. Unfortunately, researchers currently lack the ability to decipher this molecular language. Here, we will employ innovative approaches to investigate how this epigenetic language is read to control gene expression. The impact of this work on human health is substantial: There is mounting genetic evidence that mutations in molecular 'code-readers' are directly linked to human disease. The results of this mechanistic work will directly inform drug development. !

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.
