BioMarin employees around the world came together throughout March to celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. Our BioMarin Women’s Alliance (BWA) employee resource group organized employee lunches, coordinated volunteer opportunities and hosted important conversations grounded in the theme #AccelerateAction. Thanks to our BWA colleagues for hosting these Women’s History Month events and furthering our culture of belonging.
Meet IDUA. This gene tells cells how to make an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase, which helps to break down complex sugars known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). In mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a rare lysosomal storage disorder, changes in the IDUA gene can lead to an accumulation of GAGs within cells, causing damage to tissues and organs. Understanding this science has been key to our decades-long commitment to people living with MPS I.
Our team left the 2025 ACMG Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting inspired and grateful for the chance to connect with members of the scientific, medical and patient communities who share our dedication to improving the lives of those with genetically defined conditions. We’re encouraged by the progress in PKU and skeletal conditions, including achondroplasia, that was highlighted at the meeting. We remain determined to continue following the science to expand our impact for patients who are counting on us.
The BioMarin Women’s Alliance (BWA) invited members to reflect on their time at BioMarin, and discuss how recognizing moments such as Women's History Month promotes a culture of belonging. Read insights from Diana Peroni, Serena Tamura and Lubna Mustafa, and follow along for more on our celebration of Women's History Month.
