Microfluidic Device Squeezes Cells to Transfer Drugs, http://www.technologyreview.com/news/533591/device-squeezes-cells-to-get-drugs-in/

Immunotherapy currently expensive and difficult to implement Involves modifying immune cells to effectively target diseases Requires adding proteins or genetic materials to cells Done by drawing blood, modifying cells, then injecting back Too expensive to market currently New microfluidic device

Research tool by startup SQZ Biotech Squeezes cells, making membranes temporarily permeable In testing stages with mice Cheaper, faster, and better treatment Cheaper and more effective than current methods Works in seconds Small enough to be used bedside Can introduce proteins to trigger stronger immune response and

shrink tumors

This device creates the potential for major advances in treatment for diseases such as cancer and HIV. A faster, more effective, and less expensive device makes immunotherapy viable and creates the potential for a better treatment option or even a possible cure in the future.

Microfluidic device allows faster and cheaper cancer and HIV treatment

Market price Set by Customers’ willingness to pay for valued features and competitors response to the customers’ needs

Target Profit Satisfies return on investors’ investment and expectation of the financial community

Realized cost • Target key market segment • Eliminate tests and features not aligned with the customers’ value proposition • Combine functionality

Analysis • Target set by looking at customers' needs and willingness to pay, market price trends and

competitors'' response along with required margin or profit • Realized cost obtain through effort of cross functional teams that included outside
