    (Phase I)Research Direction 1
    Enhanced Delivery of Functional Ingredients
    Focuses on efficient delivery and stabilization of water- and oil-soluble functional ingredients to enhance bioavailability and underpin next-generation nutraceutical development.
    (Phase I)Research Direction 2
    Nutrition and Health Mechanisms
    Explores the role of next-generation probiotics, particularly Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK), in gut health, metabolism, and cognition to advance new approaches in nutrition science.
    (Phase I)Research Direction 3
    Precision Aging Intervention
    Addresses the health needs of an aging population by combining natural ingredients with AI-based screening to investigate skin aging and chronic inflammation and support precision aging interventions.
