Published purpose

Firm would like to design and develop novel EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) inhibitor cancer therapeutic that improve selectivity to allow irreversible inhibition to overcome resistance mutations. EGFR plays a central role in cell proliferation and survival. Aberrant EGFR signaling is a driver mutation in many tumors, making it an ideal and validated target for cancer therapy. Despite many pharmaceutical companies actively advancing EGFR inhibitors, drug resistance and severe side effects remain unsolved challenges that need to be addressed.
