About the role
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. SUMMARY: The BioMarin Summer Internship Program will enable students to gain valuable experience and knowledge of the processes and systems within BioMarin, while gaining an insight into the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. Over the course of 10 - 12 weeks our interns gain industry experience while working alongside our talented team on meaningful projects. We are currently offering an opportunity for a medical student to join the Experimental Medicine team to gain work experience in the field of early clinical development. Experimental Medicine is a team of physician-scientists that works cross functionally within the BioMarin organization to design and execute first-in-human clinical trials for rare disease. We are looking for a proactive, problem-solving individual, who demonstrates flexibility, and an ability to communicate at all levels of an organization. This opportunity will focus on delving into pathophysiological processes of disease and approaches for treatment. This may include focus on disease natural history, prognostic and predictive biomarkers, pharmacodynamics, and response endpoints. JOB DESCRIPTION/PROJECT:You will gain hands-on experience in the day-to-day activities within Experimental Medicine, while also obtaining a high-level understanding of the activities that lead to first-in-human clinical trial design and execution. You will be given specific tasks to support teams and functional roles within the department.
