Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 2nd Annual
Small G Proteins
Targeting KRAS and Other GTPases
September 29-30, 2021
KRAS and other members of the Ras family of small G proteins have been known for years to be highly associated, in their mutated forms, with a variety of cancers, thereby establishing Ras proteins as controllers of cellular growth. But only recently have
RAS-targeted drug candidates, specifically against KRAS, entered clinical trials thanks to innovative medicinal chemistry and biophysical approaches. Small G proteins lack structural features in their enzymatic GPTase domain typically required for
binding of small molecule inhibitors. With KRAS progress cracking-open the field, drug discovery attention has also turned to other types of Ras proteins and even other small G proteins such as Rho and Rab that play structural or other signaling roles
in the cell. Join your drug discovery colleagues at Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Small G Proteins conference to keep abreast of KRAS progress and compare and contrast approaches for targeting related family members.
Who should attend: Discovery Oncologists, Discovery Biologists, Discovery Chemists, Immuno-Oncologists, Cancer Researchers from Pharma, Biotech and Academic institutions
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- KRAS-targeted compounds progressing in drug development
- Targeting other KRAS mutants (non G12C forms)
- Targeting Ras-interacting partners: SOS proteins, GTPase Activating Proteins (GAPS), Guanine Exchange Factors (GEFs)
- Allosteric inhibitors of small G proteins (SHP2)
- Structural insights into GTPases
- Updates on targeting non-Ras Small G Proteins (Rho, Rab, Raf, Ral, Ran)
If you would like to submit a proposal to give a presentation at this meeting, please click here.
The deadline for priority consideration is March 29, 2021.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
