Biotech developing therapies for pulmonary hypertension and organ transplantation
United Therapeutics operates across two clinical poles: pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and organ transplantation innovation. The tech stack is heavy on enterprise software (SAP S/4HANA, Workday, Salesforce) and light on R&D-specific tooling, with Python and LIMS present but not dominant—reflecting a company balancing manufacturing scale with drug development. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales (territory expansion for Tyvaso, the company's PAH therapy) and research (gene modification, xenotransplantation programs), while leadership recruitment in medical and business director roles suggests preparation for multi-indication growth.
Notable leadership hires: Medical Director, Regional Business Director, Business Director, Marketing Director, Risk Management Director
