Meet the team behind our pioneering science

At BioMarin, we dare to engage in iterative processes of scientific inquiry in order to fundamentally improve the lives of patients.

BioMarin is home to a progressive team of world-recognised leaders in genomic, molecular, process, safety, and clinical sciences; visionaries in their fields who have been the first to discover and sequence genes like Factor VIII, invent technologies, introduce novel processes and assays, and characterise diseases.

Our comprehensive understanding of each biological pathway, from genotype to phenotype, allows us to creatively harness the most impactful methods of therapeutic intervention.
