How can we find solutions to the great challenges of the 21st century to continue and improve our life on earth? At the Falling Walls Science Summit 2022 we are looking for projects with groundbreaking potential in the study of life and organisms (e.g. biology, neuroscience, zoology) that contribute to overcoming the confrontations between humans and nature.
Deciphering the function of oncogenic KRAS has been a central objective in cancer biology. For over four decades, mutations were thought lock KRAS oncoproteins in a constitutive or persistently active state. Piro Litos work has challenged this assumption to reveal new mechanisms leading to the physiologic inactivation of mutant KRAS in cancer cells. In turn, this knowledge has paved the way for the preclinical and clinical development of several approved or emerging KRAS directed therapeutics.
About the Falling Walls Science Summit
The Falling Walls Science Summit is a leading international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral forum for scientific breakthroughs and science dialogue between global science leaders and society. The event takes place every year from 7–9 November in Berlin, commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall. With formats Falling Walls Pitches (7 November), Falling Walls Circle (8 November) and Falling Walls Science Breakthroughs of the Year (9 November), the Falling Walls Science Summit is the leading forum for global science leaders from academia, business, politics, the media, and civil society to debate the potential of scientific breakthroughs to solve grand challenges and shape a sustainable future. The Falling Walls Science Summit is organised by the non-profit Falling Walls Foundation. More: www.falling-walls.com
