[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Pulmuone is partnering with the Catholic University Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital Brain Health Center and Michelle Food to develop foods that help brain health.
On the 30th, Pulmuone announced that it signed a business agreement for joint research and development of foods that aid brain health with the Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital Brain Health Center and Michelle Food, an affiliated institution of the Catholic Academy.

Through this agreement, Pulmuone will plan and develop foods that aid brain health in consultation with the Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital Brain Health Center and Nutrition Team, together with Michelle Food.
