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.

Syros Pharmaceuticals
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Dr. Young is a founder, Director and consultant to Syros,a company founded partly on the basis of technology developed in the Young laboratory and licensed to the company. The interests of the company overlap with the research subject matter of the NIH funded award referenced above. A management plan is required to assure that Dr. Young's relationship with Syros will not influence the integrity of the research, and because the results of the research may fall under the rights granted in the License Agreement to the company.
Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Living Cells
Our research addresses the fundamental problem of how cell identity is regulated at the level of the genome. Improved understanding of transcriptional regulatory circuitry in human cells will reveal how gene expression programs are controlled and will likely produce new insights into disease mechanisms.

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.
