Description
Who We Are
BioMarin is a leading rare disease biotechnology company focused on genetically defined conditions.

Guided by our purpose to develop medicines that make a profound impact on people’s lives, our global teams have delivered a portfolio of therapies since our founding in 1997. Our revolutionary treatments for conditions like achondroplasia (the most common form of dwarfism), PKU (phenylketonuria), CLN2, a form of Batten disease, and a number of forms of MPS (mucopolysaccharidosis) offer new possibilities for patients and families who previously had few, if any, available options. More recently, with the close of the Amicus acquisition, our portfolio has expanded to include therapies for Fabry disease and Pompe disease, expanding our ability to reach more people living with rare genetic conditions.

Our success comes from our unwavering commitment to excellence, our deep understanding of patient needs, our scientific expertise, and our world-class manufacturing capabilities. At the heart of BioMarin is a dedicated team of the brightest minds in the industry working together to deliver innovative therapies to patients and families around the world.

About Worldwide Research and Development
From research and discovery to post-market clinical development, our R&D engine involves all bench and clinical research and the associated groups that support those endeavors. Our teams work on developing first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with rare diseases.

  • Ensures adequate medical monitoring oversight of assigned studies (where relevant) including monitoring and arbitration on subject eligibility, quality of safety and study data, development and review of ICFs, CRFs, TLGs, accurate AE and concomitant medication coding, and inspection readiness activities
  • Presents results of assigned studies to internal and external stakeholders, including at scientific conferences, and other relevant forums.
  • Coordinates Medical Affairs input in preparation of regulatory submissions, responses to regulatory queries, IRB/Ethics Committee questions, and in preparation for program regulatory inspections and audits for assigned programs.
