About Us

Pioneers in Rare Disease

Established in 1997, BioMarin is a world leader in developing and commercializing first- or best-in-class therapies for rare genetic diseases. We take pride in going where the science leads us, pioneering breakthrough treatments for debilitating and life-threatening conditions where we can significantly improve upon the current standard of care.

Our culture revolves around the ethos that no disease should go untreated, and our people are driven to discover, develop, and commercialize medicines that give patients, their families, and their caregivers hope where there was little or none. We fuel our R&D engine by looking for opportunities that align with our strengths and competencies. And we relentlessly pursue exciting, early-stage science that has the potential to change the course of disease.

Voted one of America’s Best Midsize Employer by Forbes in 2019, our employees feel connected to their work at BioMarin because they believe in our purpose: the patient. The passion and dedication that our employees bring to work each day is a testament to the inspiration our patients provide, and the knowledge of the impact we can make in their lives.
