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 bio-artificial 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.

Miromatrix, A United Therapeutics company was created to bring our vision of a world without an organ transplant waitlist to life. With an average of 17 people dying each day waiting for a life-saving organ, the need for a solution is more critical than ever.

Founded in 2009 from the University of Minnesota's breakthrough advances in perfusion decellularization and recellularization technology, we are the world leader in the research and development of fully biologic organs. Our approach is expected to be an efficient way to answer the unmet need of thousands of patients across the country who will otherwise go without the transplant they need to survive and thrive.

**Miromatrix** has 140 issued patents worldwide. Our technology has the potential to be applied across the spectrum of donor needs. We are focused on the research and development of transplantable kidneys ( **mirokidney®** ), livers ( **miroliver®** ), and a bioengineered external liver assist device for acute liver failure ( **miroliver** **_ELAP_** **®** ), with plans to also bioengineer other critical organs like lungs, pancreases and hearts.

Who you are

If you’re a scientist with deep expertise in kidney tubule physiology and a passion for applying your research in the biotech, pharma, organ transplant or relevant industry settings, this role is for you.
