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.

United Therapeutics does not provide relocation assistance, housing, or transportation. The selected Co-op will need to be onsite at the Manchester, NH office for the entire duration of this co-op role, from Jan 2026 to July 2026.

Who You Are:

How you’ll contribute

This Co-op will assist a project lead/scientist with in one of the following areas:

Support development of characterization flow cytometry assays to confirm identity, function, and off-target presence of iPSC-derived cell markers.

This could include learning panel design, reagent selection, optimizations, selection of controls, etc.

This could include assay qualification controls such as antibody titration, linearity, specificity, etc.

Perform orthogonal assays (molecular/IHC methods) to confirm and support assay performance. Provide additional support for more generalized established QC testing to continue to support the process development of in-house iPSC-derived cells.

Coops are educational positions requiring basic knowledge and understanding of (bio)material science fundamentals, 3D printing processes, tissue engineering, and manufacturing to support research and development in production of 3D-printed lung scaffolds suitable for recellularization. This coop will include a project/deliverable that will be completed during employment and will utilize academic foundations to further career aspirations.

+ Develop, evaluate, and further analytical testing of iPSC-derived cells for new and ongoing projects under direct/indirect supervision.

+ Confirm findings with orthogonal test methods, increasing confidence of assay results and development process.

+ Generate comprehensive protocols for testing/analyzing the materials during development

+ Assist and perform setup and maintenance for routine cell development quality confirmations

+ Communicate cross-functionally with members of the Organ Manufacturing Group and other company functions as needed

+ Perform other duties as assigned

For this role you will need

Minimum Qualifications

+ Candidates must be at least a rising undergraduate junior and actively enrolled student in an academic program for the duration of the assignment; pursuing a BA/BS, MA/MS, or PhD degree in Cell Biology, Biotechnology, Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, or related discipline

+ Knowledge of basic cell culture and cellular/molecular assays, including basic flow cytometry.

+ Confident track record of antibiotic-free cell culture.

+ Experience working in a hands-on lab environment

+ Strong attention to detail, knowledge of good lab practices (GLP), and experience following experimental methods and protocols

+ Ability to retain sufficient records and keep electronic lab notebook records to the level of reproducibility.

Preferred Qualifications

+ Actively enrolled student in a degree program in Cell Biology, Biotechnology, Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Biology or related discipline

+ GPA of 3.5 or higher

+ Experience working with basic flow cytometry
