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
