@ScienceMagazine 3)I’m proud to have been part of this innovative project, working alongside a brilliant team of researchers. Together, we explored novel small-molecule degraders with the potential to offer a new treatment paradigm for KRAS-mutant cancers, which remain a major unmet medical need.

Mutations in the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) protein are highly prevalent in cancer. However, small-molecule concepts that address oncogenic KRAS alleles remain elusive beyond...

So nice to see this paper out in its final form. Hope our learnings can help you identify and confirm true, on-target degraders!.Big thanks to the project team across both organisations @UoDCeTPD @Boehringer @alessiociulli .

What a week! I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at #TPDFocus shoulder to shoulder with inspiring leaders in the field, but also amongst friends. We keep degrading, as @alessiociulli says, and looking forward to the next meetup!.
The last session of #TPDFocus has come to an end! 🌟 Chaired by Valentina Spiteri, we had great talks from #IngridWertz, @danetteldaniels, #AngelaCacace, @EndriuT, @VesnaVetma, and wrapping up with #RebeccaStevens.

I'm happy to share that our new manuscript in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim is now out. 1/ Whilst we didn't find any CRAF degraders, we report some key learnings on identifying artefactual degraders. @UoDCeTPD .@Boehringer .
