about the Cause
At EBRP, we have one bold audacious goal: heal and cure EB by 2030 and in the process pioneer a model that can benefit the more than 400 million people affected by a rare disease. In 2022, EBRP achieved a record year for research funding: we funded 19 innovative research projects in 6 countries, accelerating cutting-edge science with potential to heal all forms of EB, totaling over $6.6 million in grant awards. These projects included a diverse portfolio of approaches including curative therapies, gene therapies, spray-on skin, ocular treatments, stem cell therapies, exon skipping, topical wound healing, squamous cell carcinoma treatments, drug repurposing, augmented intelligence cancer detection and prevention, immune therapies, and antibody therapies.
Over the last 12 years, we have raised over $50 million to fund more than 120 EB research projects, directly transforming the clinical landscape for EB. Since our founding, the number of clinical trials in EB has increased more than 20 times, from just 2 clinical trials in 2011 to over 40 today. We will not stop racing towards a cure until we #healEB, once and for all.
