Celsion's core technology employs focused heat to treat cancer and other
diseases. The core technology was initially developed and patented by
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the "Strategic Defense

to focus heat at cancer cells, killing them while simultaneously avoiding
damage to healthy tissue.
