The Boy Scouts of America’s (BSA) STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs give Scouts an opportunity to explore relevant skills and experiences and to be recognized for their achievements. The BSA has partnered with institutions like MIT, Carnegie-Mellon and ExxonMobil to create merit badges in STEM, robotics, and inventing. Currently the BSA offers over 80 STEM related merit badges. The BSA’s focus on cultivating young minds to excel in STEM fields aligns with Tevogen Bio's mission to pioneer cutting-edge research and create innovative solutions for some of the world's most pressing challenges.

About Tevogen’s Next Generation Precision T Cell Platform

Tevogen’s next generation precision T cell platform is designed to provide increased immunologic specificity to eliminate malignant and virally infected cells, while allowing healthy cells to remain intact. Multiple, precise candidate targets on viral or malignant cells are selected in advance for T cell sensitization and effector functions with the goal of overcoming the mutational escape capacity of cancer cells and viruses while limiting cross-reactivity.

Tevogen is investigating its technology’s potential to overcome the primary barriers to the broad application of personalized T cell therapies: potency, purity, production-at-scale, and patient-pairing, without the limitations of current approaches. Tevogen’s goal is to provide access to the vast and unprecedented potential of developing personalized immunotherapies for large patient populations impacted by common cancers and viral infections. The ability to administer TVGN-489 in the outpatient setting and the ongoing work by Tevogen scientists to use this product in diverse patient populations, highlights Tevogen Bio’s commitment to patient accessibility.
