BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.

Our Purpose

Since our founding in 1997, we have applied our scientific expertise in understanding the underlying causes of genetic conditions to create transformative medicines, using a number of treatment modalities.

Using our unparalleled expertise in genetics and molecular biology, we have developed eight important medicines for patients with significant unmet medical need. Our approved therapies treat achondroplasia, severe hemophilia A and several rare inherited and lysosomal storage diseases.

As we have looked to expand our impact, our approach to cutting-edge science has remained the same. We enlist the best of the best – people with the right technical expertise and a relentless drive to solve real problems – and create an environment that empowers our teams to pursue bold, innovative science. Our work is deeply rooted in genetic insights, meaning we target the underlying genetic changes or proximal molecular mechanisms of disease.

With this distinctive approach to drug discovery, we’ve produced a diverse pipeline of commercial, clinical and preclinical candidates that have well-understood biology and provide an opportunity to be first-to-market or offer a substantial benefit over existing therapeutic options.

April 17, 2019 is the 29th World Hemophilia Day, a designated day to create awareness of the disease. Hemophilia is one of a number of bleeding disorders. The blood of people with hemophilia does not clot normally as the result of insufficient clotting factor. As a result, they can bleed for a longer time.
