Who We Are

Bio Marin 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.

Bio Marin’s Technical Operations group is responsible for creating our drugs for use in clinical trials and for scaling production of those drugs for the commercial market. These engineers, technicians, scientists and support staff build and maintain Bio Marin’s cutting‑edge manufacturing processes and sites, provide quality assurance and quality control to ensure we meet regulatory standards, and procure the needed goods and services to support manufacturing and coordinating the worldwide movement of our drugs to patients.

The Bio Marin Summer Internship Program will enable students to gain valuable experience and knowledge of the processes and systems within Bio Marin, 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.

GEO manages Bio Marin's worldwide network of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), ensuring timely delivery of high‑quality clinical and commercial products. We're a team focused on scaling manufacturing capabilities, maintaining regulatory compliance, and driving operational excellence with our external partners.

We're exploring how AI can transform contract manufacturing operations and we want you to help us figure it out. This isn't a role where the work is already defined; you'll help shape it.

You'll work with our in‑house team on identifying where AI can add the most value across our CMO network, then build prototypes to test those ideas. Potential focus areas include document processing, predictive analytics, and knowledge management.
