Headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, the company has evolved into a pioneering force in biotechnology, focusing on developing novel pharmaceutical therapies and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs. United Therapeutics specializes in treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease, neuroblastoma, and end-stage lung disease through its flagship products including Tyvaso, Remodulin, Orenitram, Adcirca, and Unituxin. The company is particularly notable for being the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to convert to a public benefit corporation (PBC), with a dual purpose of developing innovative pharmaceutical therapies and creating technologies that increase transplantable organ availability. Their groundbreaking work includes xenotransplantation research, organ manufacturing technologies, and regenerative medicine programs aimed at addressing critical shortages in transplantable organs.
