Overview United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) is the first publicly‑traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to operate as a public benefit corporation. Our purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
Who We Are Founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), we currently have six FDA‑approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH‑ILD) and neuroblastoma.
