About QED Therapeutics & BridgeBio Pharma

QED Therapeutics, an affiliate of BridgeBio Pharma, focuses on developing targeted treatments for FGFR-driven skeletal dysplasias, particularly Achondroplasia. Achondroplasia is the most common form of genetically-driven short stature, which causes potentially debilitating medical complications. With our experimental therapeutic candidate, infigratinib, we seek to provide an option to children living with Achondroplasia and their families.

Our business is inspired by our values:

PUT PATIENTS FIRST
LET SCIENCE SPEAK
EVERY MINUTE COUNTS
THINK INDEPENDENTLY
BE RADICALLY TRANSPARENT

FGFR=fibroblast growth factor receptor.

BridgeBio is a biopharmaceutical company founded to discover, create, test, and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases and cancers with clear genetic drivers.

Our focus on scientific excellence and rapid execution aims to translate today’s discoveries into tomorrow’s medicines.
