What We Do

We build on the strength of our research and development expertise and a distinctive, entrepreneurial culture that encourages diversity, innovation, creativity, sustainability, and, simply, fun. Since inception, our mission has been to find a cure for pulmonary arterial hypertension and other life-threatening diseases. Toward this goal we have successfully gained FDA approval for five medicines, we are always conducting new clinical trials, and we are working to create an unlimited supply of manufactured organs for transplantation.

We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation (PBC). Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through (a) the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and (b) technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs. At the same time, we seek to provide our shareholders with superior financial performance and our communities with earth-sensitive energy utilization.

Our company was founded by an entrepreneur whose daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. She sought to find treatment options and a cure for her daughter and patients like her. We are founder-led, and relentless in our pursuit of “medicines for life”. We continue to research and develop treatments for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, and other orphan diseases.

How you’ll contribute

The Senior Scientist, Cell Production & Analytical Development (OMG) will design and lead efforts in developing and implementing robust analytical methods for the assessment of somatic cells and differentiation of iPS-derived cells for development of autologous 3D printed tissue engineered organs. The incumbent and team will also be tasked with providing rapid turn-around testing results to further process development efforts in achieving high quality and highly suitable cellular products for long-term cellularized 3D scaffolds and development of autologous 3D printed tissue engineered organs.

• Design and lead complex projects including the development, execution and troubleshooting of various analytical techniques relevant to the assessment of iPS-derived cells and their subsequent performance on cellularized 3D scaffolds

• Assist in execution of short- and mid- term planning of analytical activities to support department and site goals

• Design and lead the development and implementation of analytic methods to characterize quality and suitability of iPS-derived cells for generation of 3D printed organs

• Design and execute laboratory experiments that lead to the successful achievement of program objectives

• Foster and leverage synergistic interactions with other sub-groups in Organ Manufacturing (e.g., Bioink, Scaffold Production, Cellularization), as needed

• Participate in selection, purchase, and implementation of laboratory equipment

• Develop, write and review laboratory methods, protocols, development reports.

• Lead effective tech transfer activities from outside collaborators to internal laboratory

• Design the evaluation of new technologies for future analytical development and suitability of assays in overall testing schema.

• Interact with R&D and QC teams to ensure process and methods for assessment of iPS-derived cells are ready and phase-appropriate
