Company Summary

SQZ Biotech’s CellSqueeze enables the delivery of molecules into cells by a gentle squeezing. It was invented at MIT in the lab of Prof. Bob Langer. It's shown 10-100x improvement relative to competing technologies for major unmet needs: primary cells and non-nucleid acid molecules (proteins...). We own the exclusive license from MIT. We started in the research market but plan to pursue higher impact applications (therapeutics...) in the future.
