Executive Operations & Board Affairs Manager

Who We Are

United Therapeutics is 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 develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. Founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), we now have six FDA‑approved therapies for PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH‑ILD) and neuroblastoma.

Our near‑term pipeline focuses on 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. We are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant, aiming for an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs to eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end‑stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.
