WASHINGTON, President George W.gov. Use of Deca-BDE (Decabromodiphenyl Ether ) Commercial Product
is Not Restricted Under European Union's Restriction
on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

WASHINGTON, Mainstream and trade media news
outlets are incorrectly reporting that all polybrominated diphenyl ether
(PBDE) flame retardants are restricted for future use under the European
Union's Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS ) Directive.

Compugen Appoints Vice President Computational Life Science Research and Development

In this position, Aharonson will lead Compugen's Computational Life
Science (CLS) R+D and IT teams with direct management responsibility
for all computational biology activities including enhancement of drug
and diagnostics discovery engines, new technology development, and
support of Compugen 's external alliances.S.(1)
As such, the continued use of the highly-effective flame retardant Deca-
BDE is allowed in electronics and electronic products in the European Union,
and the use of Deca-BDE product is not restricted anywhere in the world." That risk assessment led
directly to the exemption of Deca-BDE commercial product from the RoHS
Directive.

In addition, as a member of
the Company's senior management team, he will be a key participant in
further development and implementation of Compugen's strategy and
corporate development activities. Some of these risks are: changes in
relationships with collaborators; the impact of competitive products
and technological changes; risks relating to the development of new
products; the ability to implement technological improvements; the
ability of Compugen to obtain and retain customers. The Director of
OSTP serves as co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and
Technology and oversees the National Science and Technology Council on behalf
of the President.eop.

"Eran's qualifications and background highly fit Compugen's
multidisciplinary research and development culture since he brings
with him many years of managerial and technical experience in the
field of speech and handwriting recognition , which requires combining
mathematics and computational technologies with the very different
field of linguistics. These and other
factors are identified and more fully explained under the heading
