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.
About Worldwide Research and Development
From research and discovery to post-market clinical development, our WWRD engine involves all bench and clinical research and the associated groups that support those endeavors. Our teams work on developing first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with genetic diseases. 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. The Real Worlds Evidence team is part of Global Medical Affairs and accountable for the planning, design, and interpretation of observational studies to support asset development and lifecycle management. The group has strong epidemiological and analytical expertise, they draw on a broad scope of real-world data sources (e.g., natural history, population surveys, disease registries, EMR, claims and prescribing data) or design custom RWE studies to address key evidence needs and inform on appropriate use and long-term safety and effectiveness of BioMarin products. JOB DESCRIPTION/PROJECT: The intern in the Real World Evidence group will work closely with members of the Real World Evidence team within the Integrated Evidence Function to understand epidemiologic data on potential patient populations, as well as assisting on the communication of research findings from burden of illness studies.Specific responsibilities and projects are expected to include:

- Perform literature reviews and critically appraise existing epidemiology evidence to improve disease understanding and support understanding potential treatable populations. Work will include synthesis of literature on: incidence, prevalence, natural history disease course, burden of illness, treatment patterns, co-morbidities, co-medications, outcomes measures, phenotypes, biomarkers and unmet need, and their variations across demographics and geographies.
- Assist with interpretation of study results, creation of data displays, and draft study report(s) to communicate research findings from analyses of disease registries and databases.
- Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
- Ability to balance priorities and handle multiple tasks through careful planning
- Excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to communicate scientific evidence to peers
- Experience conducting reviews of scientific literature
- Experience in the epidemiology of rare diseases or genetic epidemiology a benefit, but not required
- Experience analyzing and interpreting epidemiologic data
- Studying towards, or recently completed, a Master’s degree or PhD in Epidemiology or Public Health with an interest in understanding the role of real world evidence in a pharmaceutical/biotechnology setting.
- Must be available to work full time, 40 hours a week.
- Must be currently enrolled as a full-time student at an accredited U.S. based university or college and enrolled in the fall term after the completion of the internship OR have graduated within 1 year of the start of the program.
