NOSTER is promoting the formation of strong and long term global partnerships to establish a new therapeutic foundation targeting the gut microbiome. The aim is to share the results of clinical trials conducted in Japan with research institutions and pharmaceutical companies around the world to accelerate drug development. In addition, NOSTER’s lipid metabolite library contains several compounds as potential candidates for therapeutic drugs for not only chronic diseases but also immune system and neurological diseases, and we are aiming to further expand drug the discovery pipeline thought global alliances.
