Except Erasca did not do that at all. Wuxi did, then sold the molecule to Joyo who licensed it Erasca. Expect to see IP challenges in 3-2-1…

Earth, from Artemis II. Everything you've ever done, everyone you've ever known, all that you have traveled is contained in this picture.
A photograph of Earth seen from space against a black background with faint stars. The visible hemisphere prominently displays the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the large brown landmass of northwestern Africa, and swirling white cloud formations scattered across the globe. A thin, bright blue atmospheric glow traces the top left curve of the planet.

Just a reminder that 1yr ago today many dedicated NIH employees received RIF notices and started the process where many others were told they must leave their positions/ICs after years of service. The pain felt across the scientific community in the last year is also felt by those serving it.
