If you have a question about this talk, please contact Louisa Bellis.

The ERK1 /2 signalling pathway is de-regulated in a variety of cancers due to mutations in RAS (especially KRAS ), BRAF and MEK . This has led to the development of a variety of protein kinase inhibitors that target BRAF , MEK or ERK . Indeed, BRAF and MEK inhibitors are now approved for treatment of melanomas harbouring BRAFV600E /K mutations. This talk will highlight some of the challenges that these kinase inhibitors face – especially intrinsic and acquired resistance – as well as some solutions.
