The EML4-ALK fusion gene occurs in approximately 5% of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), making this oncogene an important drug target.  The development of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) has been a major advance in treating NSCLC with this fusion gene, but acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs ultimately limits their use.  To support the development of next-generation …Read More >

KRAS mutant proteins that drive cancer development are highly similar in sequence and structure. Direct inhibitors are most likely to bind to the catalytic domain of KRAS. However, recent studies have found that KRAS mutants can also be targeted by heterogeneous sites, to develop covalent inhibitors of KRAS mutants. The discovery of inhibitors that selectively …Read More >

Neurological disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, chronic pain, psychiatric disorders, are one of today’s largest unmet medical needs. However, due to poor disease and target understanding, Neuroscience drug discovery can be very challenging.
