Don’t miss our talk
Join us for the talk: “Decoding KRAS with opnMe: Insights from SOS1 inhibition and other collaborative research”, part of the Parallel Symposium “Advancing Cancer Therapeutics Through Patient‑Derived Complex Models”, organized by LS2 Partner Society SSEP and chaired by Georgia Konstantinidou and Patrycja Nowak‑Sliwinska. The symposium will take place on February 12, 2026, from 10:20 to 12:05.
In their presentation, Menorca Chaturvedi and Markus Koester will share how open innovation has driven progress in oncology and beyond. From novel strategies addressing SOS1‑mutant cancers to unexpected findings in diabetes research, the talk will highlight how collaborative projects on opnMe continue to shape emerging therapeutic insights.

The 2026 edition is themed “Fueling Life Across Scales”, featuring keynote talks from leading experts in metabolism, mitochondrial biology, cancer, and advanced imaging technologies. With 11 scientific symposia, invited and selected speakers, poster sessions, and an active industry exhibition, LS2 offers a vibrant platform for collaboration, networking, and showcasing cutting‑edge discoveries across the life sciences.
About opnMe:
opnMe.com, the open science portal of Boehringer Ingelheim, fosters science and collaboration initiatives in areas of high unmet medical need. Our molecules are provided to the scientific community either free of charge as “Molecules to Order” or applied for via scientific research submissions as “Molecules for Collaboration”. With our current “opn2EXPERTS” calls, we enlist scientific advice on key scientific topics to fuel further drug discovery and deliver novel solutions that benefit unmet patient needs. Our "opn2TALENTS" postdoc grants at one of our research sites offer opportunities for high-level talents to propose innovative approaches for precisely defined scientific questions.
