EBRP funds research to discover meaningful treatments and, ultimately, a cure for EB.

our progress

building momentum

Since our founding, we have funded over 180 research projects laser-focused on bringing life-saving therapies and cures to the EB community. Our work has transformed the clinical trial landscape from just 2 clinical trials in EB to over 50 today, an over 25x increase.

Charting the Course to Cures

Over the last decade, EBRP has made remarkable strides, including helping to accelerate the first three FDA-approved EB treatments in the past two years alone. Two of these treatments were directly funded by EBRP under our Venture Philanthropy model.
