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 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.
This isn't a "grab coffee and observe" kind of co-op. Over six months, you'll jump straight into hands-on, high-impact work with scientists who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in organ manufacturing. You'll help design, print, test, and improve 3D-printed lung scaffolds—technology aimed at solving one of medicine's biggest challenges: the organ transplant shortage. Along the way, you'll turn classroom theory into real-world results, own a meaningful project, and build skills in cutting-edge bioengineering that actually make a difference.
Assist a project lead/scientist in one of the following areas:
This co-op will include a project/deliverable that will be completed during employment and will utilize academic foundations to further career aspirations. Develop, evaluate and/or improve methods for 3D printing lung scaffolds using hydrogels. Design and conduct print process experiments for lung scaffold printing to achieve consistent, high fidelity 3D printed lung scaffolds. Assess mechanical and material properties of 3D printed constructs. Validate 3D printer hardware & software and communicate findings. Communicate and collaborate across functions within the organ manufacturing group. Perform additional duties as assigned.
For this role you will need:
Preferred Qualifications:
Eligible employees may participate in the Company's comprehensive benefits suite of programs, including medical / dental / vision / prescription coverage, employee wellness resources, savings plans (401k and ESPP), paid time off & paid parental leave benefits, disability benefits, and more.
