About BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics & BridgeBio Pharma

BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics ("BBOT") is our team of researchers working to develop novel therapeutics to address dire unmet needs in oncology. Led by top scientists with extensive track records in drug development, like Frank McCormick and Eli Wallace, our team utilizes structure-based drug discovery techniques to target some of oncology's most challenging and validated molecular targets, including KRAS and PI3Kα. We are focused and committed to patients, scientific excellence, and operational agility, and we understand that every minute counts in our efforts to develop new therapies to transform the lives of people living with cancer. Our main oncology laboratory is located in South San Francisco, though our research collaborators span the country and globe.

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. We bridge the gap between remarkable advancements in genetic science in academic institutions and the delivery of meaningful medicines to patients. Founded in 2015, the company has built a portfolio of 30+ drug development programs ranging from preclinical to late-stage development in multiple therapeutic areas including genetic dermatology, precision oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, pulmonology, and renal disease, with two approved drugs.

Our focus on scientific excellence and rapid execution aim to translate today's discoveries into tomorrow's medicines. We have U.S. offices in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Boston, New York, and Raleigh, with small satellites in other parts of the country. We also have international offices in Montreal, Canada, and Zug, Switzerland, and are expanding across Europe.
