Company Overview

These programs are being evaluated in clinical studies for solid tumors.

The company’s discovery efforts are supported by its enLIGHTEN™ platform, which uses genomic and computational tools to identify and develop new viral immunotherapies. Candel conducts its research and clinical-development activities primarily through networks in the United States and other locations where its clinical studies are conducted.
