Company overview
BridgeBio Pharma is a pioneering biopharmaceutical company founded in 2015 with a mission to discover, create, test, and deliver transformative medicines for patients suffering from genetic diseases. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company operates as a new type of biopharmaceutical organization that bridges the gap between remarkable advancements in genetic science and patients with unmet medical needs. BridgeBio focuses on Mendelian diseases, which arise from defects in a single gene, and cancers with clear genetic drivers. The company's innovative approach involves identifying and advancing promising scientific discoveries through a portfolio model that spans early discovery to late-stage development. With a pipeline of over 20 development programs, BridgeBio employs a team of experienced drug discoverers, developers, and innovators committed to applying advances in genetic medicine to help patients as quickly as possible. The company's business model combines scientific expertise with entrepreneurial execution to address rare genetic conditions that have historically been overlooked by traditional pharmaceutical companies due to small patient populations and industry reluctance to conduct early-stage development.
