SQZ Biotechnologies (SQZ) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

SQZ Biotechnologies (NYSE: SQZ) is a clinical‐stage biotechnology company that specializes in the development of novel cell therapies for oncology and infectious diseases. The company’s proprietary Cell Squeeze® platform uses a microfluidic device to temporarily open pores in cell membranes, enabling the delivery of proteins, peptides, mRNA and other cargo directly into the cytosol without relying on viral or chemical vectors. This approach aims to generate potent antigen‐presenting cells and engineered T cells while reducing manufacturing complexity and safety concerns common to viral‐based methods.

The company’s pipeline includes both oncology and infectious disease programs. Key programs include an HPV‐targeted antigen‐presenting cell therapy designed to stimulate a robust immune response against HPV16‐associated malignancies and a series of CAR‐T candidates engineered via the Cell Squeeze platform for solid tumors. SQZ Biotechnologies has collaborations with academic institutions and biopharmaceutical partners to advance preclinical and clinical studies, with the goal of demonstrating proof‐of‐concept in a range of indications.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, SQZ Biotechnologies completed its transition to a publicly traded company in 2021 through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company. The company operates a dedicated manufacturing facility in the Greater Boston area and continues to expand research partnerships to validate its platform across multiple cell therapy modalities. As SQZ advances its lead candidates through regulatory filings and clinical trials, it aims to redefine the delivery and engineering of cell‐based medicines for patients worldwide.
