**The job details are as follows:**
**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**
You will be conducting research to develop tissue-based regenerative medicine products for treating pulmonary hypertension and other lung diseases. As part of a collaborative team, you will perform lung scaffold recellularization experiments, develop new techniques for cell seeding and feeding, and enhance bioreactor system performance. Your responsibilities include preparing scaffolds and reagents, overseeing recellularization bioreactors, monitoring key parameters, and analyzing in-process data to drive scientific and system development. You will also present findings in team meetings, follow GLP/GMP protocols, and ensure laboratory safety and accurate data documentation. Additionally, you'll manage materials and reagents to support ongoing experiments and contribute to overall project success.
**Responsibilities:**
+ Conduct process and system development experiments under manager oversight, including developing new techniques for cell seeding and feeding of the lung scaffolds and improving hardware performance
+ Collect and document in-process data (e.g., pressures, flow rates) to guide tissue engineering experiments
+ Perform routine analyses of in-process measurements and recellularization data to drive system and scientific development
+ Adhere to proper laboratory safety procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment and handling biohazard materials (human or animal cells and tissues)
**Minimum Requirements**
+ Associates Degree or
+ Bachelor’s Degree in life science, engineering, or biomedical science
+ 3+ years of laboratory employment experience with an Associates Degree or
+ 1+ years of laboratory employment experience with a Bachelor's degree; undergraduate laboratory experience may be considered
+ Strong collaboration skills; demonstrated ability to work effectively within a team environment
+ Ability to initiate and manage day-to-day tasks effectively
+ Ability to organize and present data
+ Ability to independently follow experimental methods and protocols
+ Proficient in using standard software applications, including word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation tools
