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.
Here at Lung Bioengineering, a United Therapeutics subsidiary, our mission is to increase the availability and suitability of organs for transplant. We are seeking experienced and qualified personnel eager to work in this rapidly growing field of medicine. Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) is a procedure used by transplant teams to evaluate lungs outside the body, providing essential information on lungs that may not initially appear suitable for transplant. Our EVLP Clinical Specialists play a vital role in this process, working closely with transplant surgeons to provide hands-on assessments and detailed data on the condition of the lungs. This crucial information helps surgeons determine the suitability of lungs for transplantation.
Who you are
Join the frontlines of innovation in transplant medicine. Lung Bioengineering, a subsidiary of United Therapeutics, is seeking a skilled and mission-driven Ex-Vivo Clinical Specialist II to help transform the future of lung transplantation. In this critical role, you'll learn to perform ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) procedures to evaluate and optimize donor lungs for transplant-directly impacting patient lives. You'll work hands-on with advanced clinical technology, collaborate with transplant centers and organ procurement organizations, and help ensure seamless logistics and regulatory compliance. This is more than a job-it's a unique opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, purpose-driven team on the forefront of life-saving innovation. If you're a seasoned transplant or critical care professional with strong surgical skills, sterile technique, and a drive to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
