NEW YORK, NY, ISRAEL, and SINGAPORE, Sept. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Todos Medical Ltd. TOMDF, an in vitro diagnostics company focused on distributing comprehensive solutions for COVID-19 screening and diagnosis, and developing blood tests for the early detection of cancer and Alzheimer's disease, today announced that it has entered into a COVID-19 testing and contract partnership with Pangea, based in Israel. Pangea is a trusted global supplier of digital identity, security, and ePayment solutions serving millions of people worldwide, who specializes in the digital transformation of government services and enterprise business operations. Pangea was recently featured in the New York Times.

Under the terms of the agreement, Todos will be the preferred supplier of COVID-19 testing products for Pangea's suite of offerings aimed at securely delivering contact tracing and ‘COVID testing passport' services in Israel and certain African countries, whereas Todos will be able to integrate and tailor Pangea's technology offering into its services package in the United States, Canada and Mexico (the ‘North American Bubble') to create ‘COVID bubbles' for employers, schools, sports leagues and other clients to deliver a full solution for COVID testing and contact tracing in a HIPAA compliant, ‘opt-in' privacy tailored fashion. Pangea is able to provide a COVID-19 contact tracing solution which includes airport testing security as part of the effort to re-enable international travel.

"This partnership is the critical next step to bring technology into the COVID-19 healthcare arena to give policy-makers and employers the tools needed to identify, isolate and ultimately kill COVID-19," said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Todos. "Pangea is focused on tailoring technology solutions to privacy-focused industries and allowing for seamless communication of critical information to various stakeholders to bring about a change in behavior that is deemed to be in the public interest. Given the importance of contact tracing in the fight to limit the spread of COVID-19, we believe Pangea is an ideal partner to work with Todos as we continue to advance our tech-enabled 3C protease point of care COVID-19 test so that we can not only deliver convenient test results, but that reporting of those results becomes seamless as COVID-19 testing becomes more routine as we look to re-open world economies."

"Todos Medical's 3C protease test could be the ultimate solution to the COVID-19 testing problems that the entire world has been facing," said Rafi Kaminer, President & CEO of Pangea. "We plan to successfully deploy our solutions and give policy makers the tools needed to take the right decisions. We understand that privacy concerns will be different in each country. Our offering will be tailored to meet the privacy concerns of each client, whether they be government, employers, schools, airports or other constituencies."

About Todos Medical Ltd.

Headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, Todos Medical Ltd. TOMDF engineers life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of a variety of cancers. The Company's state-of-the-art and patented Todos Biochemical Infrared Analyses (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer-screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that deploys deep examination into cancer's influence on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. Todos' two internally-developed cancer-screening tests, TMB-1 and TMB-2, have received a CE mark in Europe. Todos recently entered into an exclusive option agreement to acquire U.S.-based medical diagnostics company Provista Diagnostics, Inc. to gain rights to its Alpharetta, Georgia-based CLIA/CAP certified lab and Provista's proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020.

Todos is also developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocytes to withstand an exogenous mitogenic stimulation that induces them to enter the cell cycle. It is believed that certain diseases, most notably Alzheimer's disease, are the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle re-entry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in the use of peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain. In July 2020, Todos completed the acquired Breakthrough Diagnostics, Inc., the owner of the LymPro Test intellectual property, from Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. AMBS.

Additionally, Todos has entered into distribution agreements with companies to distribute certain novel coronavirus (COVID-19) test kits. The agreements cover multiple international suppliers of PCR testing kits and related materials and supplies, as well as antibody testing kits from multiple manufacturers after completing validation of said testing kits and supplies in its partner CLIA/CAP certified laboratory in the United States. Todos has formed strategic partnerships with Meridian HealthMoto-Para Foundation to deploy COVID-19 testing in the United States.
