BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. is a global biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for rare genetic diseases. Headquartered in San Rafael, California, BioMarin has established itself as one of the world's leading rare disease biotech companies with multiple approved drugs, a robust pipeline, and extensive experience navigating the complexities of rare disease drug development and commercialization. The company's mission centers on bringing transformative therapies to patients with serious, life-threatening, and often pediatric conditions where treatment options are limited or nonexistent. BioMarin's commercial portfolio includes Vimizim (for Morquio A syndrome), Naglazyme (for MPS VI), Kuvan (for phenylketonuria/PKU), Palynziq (for adult PKU), Brineura (for CLN2 disease), and Aldurazyme (for MPS I, through partnership). These enzyme replacement therapies, enzyme cofactors, and other innovative approaches treat ultra-rare metabolic disorders affecting thousands of patients globally. BioMarin's pipeline includes gene therapy programs for hemophilia A, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and other genetic conditions, representing next-generation approaches that could provide one-time curative treatments for devastating diseases. BioMarin operates globally with commercial infrastructure in North America, Europe, Latin America, and other markets, generating billions in annual revenue. The company has demonstrated expertise in rare disease drug development including identifying valid targets, conducting complex clinical trials in small patient populations, securing regulatory approvals and reimbursement for expensive specialty therapies, and building direct relationships with patient communities and treatment centers. BioMarin competes in rare disease markets against Sanofi Genzyme, Vertex, Alexion (AstraZeneca), and others. Differentiation comes from rare disease focus, established commercial success, pipeline breadth, gene therapy capabilities, and patient-centric approach. The company continues advancing gene therapy and other innovative platforms while expanding geographic reach and building on its rare disease leadership position. BioMarin exemplifies successful commercial-stage rare disease biotech with both established profitable businesses and transformative pipeline opportunities.
