Who We Are

From research and discovery to post-market clinical development, our WWRD engine involves all bench and clinical research and the associated groups that support those endeavors. Our teams work on developing first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with genetic diseases.

DEPARTMENT SUMMARY

The RED Laboratory Operations Data Integrity Group at BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc liaises between scientific groups in RED (Research and Early Development) and internal and external groups to 1) identify and implement technology solutions that meet business needs and drive science; 2) influence timely and traceable electronic notebook writeups, presentations, and reports; with source data references; and 3)ensure data integrity meets CFR standards on validated equipment and lab systems.

The Technology Solutions and Lab Data Integrity Specialist II in the RED Lab Operationsgroupat BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. will implement instrument systems and software that meets business needs of WWRD. The Technology Solutions and Lab Data Integrity Specialist will help ensure systems are implemented efficiently, following a standard process, so that the lab is delivered systems that meet business needs, enhance compliance, improve efficiency, and reduce regulatory risk.

Individual will also work closely with the RED groups and scientists and with other functional groups at BioMarin.
