Get to Know Us
We have exceptional talent.
I joined SQZ as a protein chemist in 2017. I was immediately impressed by the collaborative and welcoming spirit of the company. I have experienced many opportunities to grow and develop professionally, including the ability to laterally transition into analytical development work. The work I get to do every day with the CMC team is the most challenging and rewarding work I could ever think of.
