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.

Sulfilatec
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Hudson is in the process of establishing a new company, Sulfilatec, as a Vanderbilt start-up company to focus on pre-clinical stage research and development on the therapeutic potential of the sulfilimine bond. The company is focusing on a recent discovery that bromine is essential for health tissue and believe that this fining will allow for the development of novel products that reduce morbidity in dialysis patients.
Studies on the Structure of Basement Membranes
Kidney diseases such as Goodpasture's disease, Alport syndrome and diabetic nephropathy damage the ultrafilter causing kidney failure. We study the molecular architecture and function of the collagen scaffolds that comprise the normal filter and which are damaged by these diseases. The knowledge gained provides a framework to develop new forms of therapy.

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.
