■ Purpose and Background of Appointment
The Company is an R&D startup aiming to realize longevity based on the research results of the Division of Molecular Information (Project/Emeritus Professor Toru Akiyama) at the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, The University of Tokyo.
In addition to developing new drugs in the fields of anti-aging and aging-related diseases, we are promoting a "plant/algae-derived exosome business" with the aim of creating next-generation healthcare.
This participation aims to connect the research results we have accumulated so far to "business" rather than just keeping them in "science", and to further solidify our progress toward social implementation. We will enhance the feasibility and expansion of our business to form a new industry in the Longevity market.
Mr. Mitsuru Omori has a proven track record of being involved in growth strategies and new business development for diverse companies at the Japan Research Institute, and we will utilize his expertise to jointly materialize our business and brand strategies.

We have asked Mr. Omori to join as a member in this project as well, and together with our efforts anticipating the finals in 2030, we will connect this to concrete value creation toward realizing a healthy, long-living society.
