Field Director, Clinical Practice Liaison Team Leader

Who We Are At United Therapeutics, we are pioneers in the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors, holding the distinction of being the first publicly-traded company structured as a public benefit corporation. Our mission is to enhance the future of patients by developing innovative pharmaceutical therapies and technologies aimed at expanding the availability of transplantable organs. Founded in 1996, we were driven by a family's quest for a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we proudly offer six FDA-approved therapies targeting PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our immediate goals include introducing additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Understanding that organ transplants hold the key to curing end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, and PF, we strive to address the critical shortage of available organs. We aim to create manufactured organs to eliminate transplant waiting lists and cure organ diseases.
