The European Research Initiative on ALK-related malignancies (ERIA) was conceived at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting in Denver, CO, USA back in 2009 by Suzanne Turner, Olaf Merkel and Lukas Kenner.
Our aim is to strengthen cooperation and partnership of European research groups focused on ALK-related malignancies in order to accelerate scientific progress. With this aim in mind we anticipate that more efficacious and less toxic therapeutic
strategies will be developed.
