Senior Bioprocess Technician

The job details are as follows: 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. With over 100,000 patients on the organ transplant waitlist and only a fraction receiving the lifesaving organ they require, there is a great need for additional sources of transplantable organs. At Miromatrix, a leader in regenerative medicine and a subsidiary of United Therapeutics Corporation, we are working to address this unmet need by bioengineering human organs to help save and improve patients' lives. Join our team as we continue to make history by developing life-saving therapies to help patients with liver and kidney disease.
