Round 2
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane protein that plays a critical role in cell growth, differentiation, and survival. It is frequently overexpressed or mutated in various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and head and neck cancer. This makes EGFR a crucial target for cancer therapies such as Cetuximab, an antibody with more than 1B USD in annual revenue.
