Genzyme Europe B.V. is a Netherlands-based biotechnology research company focused on discovering and delivering therapies for patients with rare and unmet medical needs, with a long history centered on lysosomal storage disorders and expansion into other disease areas such as thyroid cancer and multiple sclerosis. These efforts have been supported by affiliation with Sanofi since 2011, which broadened its reach and resources while maintaining a patient-focused mission. Genzyme traces its origins to 1981 in Boston, and the European subsidiary operates from North Holland. Its customers are patients and patient communities who rely on access to transformative therapies, and the organization seeks to incorporate patient perspectives into its work. A notable development in recent years is the 2022 launch of a Humanitarian Program to broaden access to enzyme replacement therapies.
