TargEdys

TargEDys focuses on the modulation of appetite and develops functional food, medical food, and pharmaceutical products to harness the microbiome's ability to regulate appetite and thus maintain or restore weight and metabolic health. TargEDys is an innovative start-up with activity based on research from company founders Serguei Fetissov and Pierre Déchelotte, who have identified and described the first molecular link of the gut-brain axis: proteins from gut bacteria were found to be "molecular mimetics" of peptide hormones involved in the regulation of eating behavior in the brain and peripheral organs.
