Biography

Martine Rothblatt cofounded Sirius Satellite Radio in 1990 but left soon after the company's 1993 IPO.

Rothblatt moved into biotech after her daughter was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension, a disease that was deadly at the time.

She founded United Therapeutics in 1996; it sells five FDA-approved drugs to help people with the disease.

The publicly-traded company is experimenting with pig cloning and genetic modification to create lung transplants the human body doesn't reject.

The company's pig 'pharm' in Blacksburg, Virginia is the world's largest cloner of pigs.
