Crafting life changing therapies
At Quell we see a future where serious immune-mediated and inflammatory disease can be durably controlled with a single dose of engineered Tregs.
Our Mission
Big challenges require dynamic, resilient teams.
Those who are both independent thinkers and passionate team players, those who are creative, resilient, and determined, and who have the courage to challenge the status quo.
Together, we will create the best therapeutics to harness the full potential of Tregs to treat serious immune and inflammatory diseases.
We are on a relentless pursuit to change and save lives.
