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. Jaffrey is the founder and chair of the scientific advisory board of Lucerna Technologies. Lucerna sells fluorophores that could be used with the antibody proteins that Dr. Jaffrey invented.
Engineering RNA-activated fluorescence switches for imaging RNA and RNA biology
RNA species, such as noncoding RNA, mRNA, and toxic RNAs, have important roles in regulating the function of neurons and other cells; however imaging RNA and RNA-protein interactions is a highly challenging task. Recently we described a strategy for genetically encoding fluorescent RNA molecules in living cells. In this proposal, we describe novel technologies that will allow simultaneous imaging of different RNAs in neurons, the imaging of low abundance mRNAs, and imaging dynamic RNA-protein interactions in neurons. These techniques will markedly advance our understanding of the role of RNA in regulating both the normal and disease pathways in neurons.

We're still reporting about conflicts of interest. Is there something you'd like to tell us about this disclosure?
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.
