Frame the target before identity details

Structured disease, protein, and project context should read before the lower-level identity rail.

As of 2026-09-13

Aurora kinase B shows late clinical disease relevance led by small cell lung carcinoma. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt Q96GD4. Start with small cell lung carcinoma, then reuse UniProt Q96GD4 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
small cell lung carcinoma

Aurora kinase B shows late clinical disease relevance led by small cell lung carcinoma. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with small cell lung carcinoma because it currently carries late clinical support. Linked drugs include IBCASERTIB. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
