Who we are

We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company 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 transplantable organs.

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 an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.

Who you are

Join our team to support groundbreaking tissue engineering research by working closely with scientists and engineers to derive and maintain various cell types from human organs and human induced pluripotent stem cells. You’ll assist in populating and characterizing tissue constructs, preparing reagents, and maintaining cell and scaffold inventory. This role offers a great opportunity for hands-on experience in cutting-edge cell biology and tissue engineering.

• Assist in populating and maintaining tissue constructs with various cell types, and characterizing their morphology and function, with oversight and guidance

• Maintain and track the production and inventory of cells and scaffolds, working closely with the cell and scaffold production teams

• Follow established protocols to perform analytical techniques and biochemical assays for cell biology and tissue engineering experiments

• Accurately record all laboratory data in the in-house data management system(s)

• Assist in preparing data results for presentation to the team

• Meet 1:1 with managers to review results and progress

• Perform lab maintenance tasks such as processing glassware and sterilization

Additional Requirements for Research Associate II:

• Perform all duties listed above with limited oversight
