(Nasdaq: BBIO) today announced a three-year collaboration agreement formed to advance cutting-edge academic discoveries in genetically driven diseases toward therapeutic applications. Under the partnership, BridgeBio will help fund research programs from Salk\u2019s world-renowned innovative cancer research, with the eventual goal of developing new therapeutics for patients in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSalk is known for its outstanding research, in particular in the field of oncology, so we are excited to enter into this partnership with BridgeBio to advance our discoveries and help develop next-generation therapies,\u201d says Salk Vice President and Chief Science Officer Martin Hetzer, PhD. \u201cThe partnership represents an excellent opportunity for academic research to reach new potential in the clinical setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBridgeBio is focused on partnering with leading academic institutions to accelerate promising research into clinical studies, with a range of therapeutic modalities such as biologics, gene therapies and small molecules,\u201d said BridgeBio CEO and founder Neil Kumar, PhD. \u201cThe Salk Institute is known as a place where great science is occurring\u2014and has occurred for decades\u2014and we feel privileged to have the opportunity to partner with them. Through this partnership, we look forward to translating exciting academic findings into potential treatments and understanding the impact they may bring to patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Salk Cancer Center is one of seven National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated basic research cancer centers in the United States. Here, researchers are using game-changing technologies to expose the molecular mechanisms underlying tumors in order to develop targeted cancer therapies. Salk is also home to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/conquering-cancer-initiative\/\">Iniciativa \u00abVencer al c\u00e1ncer\u00bb<\/a>, which is a scientific and philanthropic endeavor to bring together collaborative cancer researchers to harness new strategies against five deadly cancers: pancreatic, ovarian, lung, brain (glioblastoma) and triple-negative breast. Salk\u2019s scientists aim to identify cancer\u2019s vulnerabilities in order to develop new methods that can attack the tumors while leaving the healthy tissues alone.<\/p>\n<p>BridgeBio partners with academic institutions, like the Salk Institute, to support early-stage research around genetically validated targets. Through close collaboration, BridgeBio aims to rapidly translate novel discoveries into potentially life-saving treatments. The company works across multiple genetically driven diseases and therapeutic areas, helping provide the insights and support needed to rapidly bring the latest scientific advancements from the lab bench to the patient bedside. Its academia-industry collaborations focus on creating partnerships with biomedical research institutes that are built on trust, engagement, science and respect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acerca del Instituto Salk de Estudios Biol\u00f3gicos:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every cure has a starting point.
