HADD Science-EDITME Sign MOU for Microbiome-based Medifood R&D
Through this agreement, the two companies will jointly develop microbiome-based functional foods that can care for gut health, extending to brain health. They plan to maintain close cooperation from research and development to production. The CEO of HADD Science is a brain science doctor who has researched the pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment methods for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's for 24 years. HADD Science develops biocompatible biomaterials, including 3D culture gels. Through this collaboration, HADD Science plans to apply its existing technologies to microbiome products, promoting the development of next-generation functional foods that contribute to improving the intestinal microbial ecosystem and enhancing brain health. EDITME is a food tech company that researches and develops smoothie and soup products for healthy eating habits, offering a variety of products that provide balanced nutrition. Through this agreement, EDITME is expected to expand its portfolio of scientifically researched microbiome products and secure differentiated competitiveness in the functional food market. A HADD Science representative stated, **“The microbiome is a key factor influencing overall human function beyond gut health. Through this agreement, we will develop next-generation functional medifood that can care for health from the gut to the brain, and introduce differentiated products utilizing biomaterials.”** An EDITME representative also commented, **“We will lead a healthy food culture through microbiome products combined with scientifically verified biomaterial technology,”** adding, **“We plan to continuously strengthen our research and development and production cooperation in the future.”** With this MOU as a stepping stone, HADD Science and EDITME will accelerate the development of innovative microbiome-based medifood. In the future, the two companies plan to introduce customized functional foods that consider individual gut environments through joint research, securing competitiveness not only in the domestic market but also in the global market.
