Compugen is a clinical-stage therapeutic discovery and development company utilizing its broadly applicable predictive computational discovery capabilities to identify new drug targets and biological pathways for developing cancer immunotherapies. Compugen has developed two proprietary product candidates: COM701, a potential first-in-class anti-PVRIG antibody and COM902, a potential best-in-class antibody targeting TIGIT for the treatment of solid tumors. Compugen also has a clinical stage partnered program, rilvegostomig (previously AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bi-specific derived from COM902, in Phase 2 development by AstraZeneca through a license agreement for the development of bi-specific and multi-specific antibodies. In addition, the Company’s therapeutic pipeline of early-stage immuno-oncology programs consists of programs aiming to address various mechanisms of immune resistance. The most advanced program, COM503 is in IND enabling studies. COM503 is a potential first-in-class, high affinity antibody which blocks the interaction between IL-18 binding protein and IL-18, thereby freeing natural IL-18 to inhibit cancer growth in the tumor microenvironment. Compugen is headquartered in Israel, with offices in San Francisco, CA. Compugen’s shares are listed on Nasdaq and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CGEN.

Imagine there was a link to securely credential anything, anywhere, anonymously…
We simplify how individuals securely prove and share their identity online and provide fast, secured access to verified personal data.
Digital identities are becoming the future standard practice across most industries. While using traditional identification methods, individuals are often required to provide more data than necessary.
How We Help:
Our platform enables organisations to issue a single, reusable, decentralised, digital credential that validates an individuals identity without openly revealing sensitive information.
It can integrate data owned by third parties so that digital credentials can serve as an ecosystem, binding a persons identity to their information that is securely stored on the users device in a secure mobile wallet.
Our Four Components:
Q-Link – a connected data platform for managing, verifying, and issuing digital documents, medical tests and data between approved stakeholders.
Q-Wallet – a digital wallet that uses AES-256 encryption that enables people to store and share personal details, including health tests, government IDs, work passes, tickets and more via QR codes.
Q-Authenticator – A powerful application that enables organisations to determine entry conditions, verify credentials for employees/customers, and acts as an access control through contactless scanning and verification of identity.
Q-Intelligence – Provides integration options based on RESTful APIs to interface with external systems, including off-the-shelf and custom-built modules for any client-driven requirement.

We are an interdisciplinary team of passionate Physician Innovators, Surgeons, Data Scientists, Engineers, Computational Biologists, Geneticists, Public Health Executives, and Lawyers. Collectively, we are innovators, fascinated by science in all its manifestations. We feel, morbidities and mortalities don’t occur in isolation… they offer signals long before symptoms become evident, either clinical and/or social. Core to our mission is the belief that digitally enabled health services powered by deep science applications can help close care gaps. We believe understanding propensity for clinical and social risk early is key to improving outcomes, enhancing value, and promoting equity.
Our voyage began with a vision to eradicate maternal and infant mortality and morbidity by putting AI behind medicine, biology, and social determinants of health. We use advanced computational sciences, namely AI and deep learning to analyze massive volumes of data (of all kinds – medical records, notes, conversations, images, genetics, claims, surveys, drug research, drug usage etc.) to derive insights that can empower payers, providers, drug makers and public health professionals.
