Who We Are
BioMarin is a global biotechnology company that relentlessly pursues bold science to translate genetic discoveries into new medicines that advance the future of human health.
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 develop medicines for patients with significant unmet medical need. 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. 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.
Our Culture BioMarin’s Experimental Medicine team is seeking an experienced Medical Director to serve as a key matrixed clinical leader at BioMarin focused on the design and execution of highly informative first-in-human clinical experiments. Leveraging deep experience in translational clinical research, the Medical Director will partner with Experimental Medicine, Biomarkers, Clinical Pharmacology, Preclinical Safety, Clinical Safety, Regulatory and Clinical Operations colleagues to ensure that BioMarin assets are optimally positioned to gain maximal insights during initial clinical experiences with new therapeutic agents. The Medical Director will have widespread impacts on the BioMarin early clinical pipeline. Key contributions will include delivery of initial clinical development plans, preIND and IND documents, and well-designed clinical trial protocols and supportive documents. In addition, this role will contribute to clinical assessments of new project opportunities (both internal projects and supporting business development activities). Job Summary
