• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Compugen Ltd. is a pioneer in the fields of computational genomics and proteomics.

These products and services are designed to enable life scientists to significantly enhance their research efforts in drug discovery. " (8/4/2017)
• 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "On February 15, Compugen hosted a conference call to discuss its 4Q16 and FY16 results, and announced that it is searching for a new chairperson for its board of directors to replace its current Chairman Martin Gerstel. We consider the decision benign as Mr. Gerstel’s decision to step down is motivated by his wish to fill the chair with someone who is seasoned in clinical development and commercialization as CGEN draws near to filing its first IND and advancing its own investigational therapy into the clinic. While Mr. Gerstel has successfully led CGEN from using its unique target prediction technologies through discovery of multiple drug targets, we think this decision is logical as CGEN transforms into a clinical-stage company. We look for the first IND filing expected in 4Q17 to be a significant inflection point in the company’s valuation." (2/16/2017)
