About Technical Operations
BioMarin’s Technical Operations group is responsible for creating drugs for clinical trials and scaling production for the commercial market. These engineers, technicians, scientists, and support staff build and maintain manufacturing processes and sites, ensure quality assurance and quality control to meet regulatory standards, and procure goods and services to support manufacturing and distribution.
BioMarin is a leader in delivering therapeutics for rare genetic diseases that lack effective treatments, often affecting children. These conditions are inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating, and have few treatment options. We focus on advancing therapies that are first or best of their kind.
