This is a work in progress

Here we will provide links to articles concerning conflict of interest, and how it can creates biases, erode trust, and sometimes compromise our ability to make progress against the disease. 

A conflict of interest occurs in a situation in which professional judgment regarding a primary interest, such as research, education or patient care, may be unduly influenced by a secondary interest, such as financial gain or personal prestige. Conflicts of interest exist in every walk of life, including medicine and science. There is nothing inherently unethical in finding oneself in a conflict of interest. Rather, the key questions are whether one recognizes the conflict and how one deals with it. Strategies include disclosing the conflict, establishing a system of review and authorization, and prohibiting the activities that lead to the conflict. -  Bioethics for clinicians: 17. Conflict of interest in research, education and patient care - Trudo Lemmens, LicIur, LLM (Bioethics); Peter A. Singer, MD CMAJ 1998;159:960-5
