Our revolutionary treatments for conditions like achondroplasia (the most common form of dwarfism), PKU (phenylketonuria), CLN2, a form of Batten disease, and a number of forms of MPS (mucopolysaccharidosis) offer new possibilities for patients and families who previously had few, if any, available options. More recently, with the close of the Amicus acquisition, our portfolio has expanded to include therapies for Fabry disease and Pompe disease, expanding our ability to reach more people living with rare genetic conditions.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: verdana , geneva;">Our success comes from our unwavering commitment to excellence, our deep understanding of patient needs, our scientific expertise, and our world-class manufacturing capabilities. At the heart of BioMarin is a dedicated team of the brightest minds in the industry working together to deliver innovative therapies to patients and families around the world. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: verdana , geneva;">About Worldwide Research and Development </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: verdana , geneva;">From research and discovery to post-market clinical development, our R&D engine involves all bench and clinical research and the associated groups that support those endeavors.
