SQZ fosters many values I care about deeply on a professional and personal level, namely a passion for science, diversity and helping people. I joined SQZ in its early stage, and it has been wonderful to witness the company evolve from an early start up to a clinical stage company that focuses on saving patients’ lives with science. Working in a team that values creativity, differing opinions, and welcomes new ideas is fun and nourishing.
