Who we are
We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceuticalpany to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantableans.
United Therapeutics (

Nasdaq:

UTHR) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension( PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is anan transplant, but only a small percentage of donatedans are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create bio-artificialans to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantableans will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stagean diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.
Who you are
We are looking for a PHD in polymer or material science with a deep knowledge of biomaterial design for light based 3D ing. This person will take their brilliant expertise to execute and troubleshoot initiatives to enhance process development in bioink formulations, 3D ing, surface coating, and 3D ed scaffold characterization. The primary goal is to develop scaffolds with properties conducive to creating functional 3D ed lungs. Sound like something you are dreaming to be apart of? .
