COREE Announces Discovery of Microbiome Biomarkers Specific to Diabetes and Obesity Patients

  • Joint research achievement by Gemelli Hospital in Rome, COREE, COREE Pohang, and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — COREE announced on September 15 that it had, for the first time in the world, identified microbiome biomarkers specific to diabetes and obesity patients, in collaboration with Italian research teams. The company is led by Chairman Chong-Yoon Lim, who is also the largest shareholder of Dx&Vx.

The announcement was made at the 38th Annual Workshop of the European Helicobacter & Microbiota Study Group (EHMSG), held in Rome, Italy, from September 11 to 13. EHMSG, a prestigious academic platform with over 30 years of history, is an international venue where the latest findings in Helicobacter pylori and microbiome research are presented each year. This year’s workshop brought together more than 500 researchers and clinicians from around the world.

COREE participated as an official sponsor of the event, with Chairman Chong-Yoon Lim, CEO Sung-Jun Han, Professor Dae-Hee Kang of Seoul National University, Professor In-Taek Lim of the Catholic University of Korea, and about 30 other Korean scientists in attendance as part of the Future Medical Innovation Forum.

At the workshop, Professor Lorenza Putignani of Sapienza University of Rome and Gemelli Hospital presented the results of a clinical study jointly conducted by Gemelli Hospital, COREE, COREE Pohang, and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. The study analyzed clinical samples from 93 patients with obesity or type 2 diabetes and 45 healthy controls, successfully identifying for the first time worldwide microbiome distribution patterns unique to these patients.

The research involved metagenomic analysis of stool and saliva samples. Findings showed that the gut microbiome diversity of obese patients was significantly reduced compared to healthy controls. Specific bacterial groups such as Clostridium sp. Q and “CAG-74” were highlighted as potential biomarkers capable of distinguishing patient groups. In type 2 diabetes patients, differences in oral microbiome distribution were observed, with Parvimonas and Aggregatibacter identified as potential biomarkers.

COREE explained that the study is not just a scientific discovery but also a critical foundation for future diagnostic platforms, new drug development, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).

Sung-Jun Han, CEO of COREE, stated, “This is the first time globally that statistically significant microbiome characteristics specific to diabetes and obesity patients have been identified. With further research, these biomarkers could be developed for early diagnosis and prediction of treatment response.”

The company emphasized that this achievement provides a clear roadmap for its future growth areas in diagnostics, therapeutics, and FMT solutions.

The academic exchange extended beyond diabetes and obesity research, highlighting broader public health challenges shared by both Italy and Korea. Both countries face extremely low birth rates and rapidly aging populations, making child and senior health critical national priorities.

Dr. In-Taek Lim, former Assistant Minister for Health of the Korea Ministry of Health and Welfare, and now Research Professor at the Catholic University of korea, Graduate School of Public Health and Healthcare Management, commented:

“Both Korea and Italy are confronted with structural challenges of low fertility and rapid aging. This joint research marks an important starting point for future academic and industrial collaborations aimed at tackling common health issues across generations, particularly children and the elderly.”

Building on this study, COREE and Gemelli Hospital underscored the importance of expanded research into pediatric and adolescent microbiome health as well as preventive strategies for age-related diseases. Future directions will include initiatives to strengthen maternal and child health as part of efforts to overcome declining birth rates, along with the development of tailored preventive medicine strategies for the elderly.

Professor Dae-Hee Kang of Seoul National University’s Department of Preventive Medicine added:

“This achievement serves as a source of great inspiration not only to Korean scientists but also to the global research community. It demonstrates the potential of Helicobacter and microbiome research to evolve into a new therapeutic paradigm.”

Meet INSEAD AI50 – An alumni-led recognition of global AI builders

Independent recognition of INSEAD community advancing AI with real-world impact  across industries, regions, roles and sectors.

SINGAPORE, SAN FRANCISCO and FONTAINEBLEAU, France, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The INSEAD AI 50, an alum-led initiative, today announced its inaugural list recognizing 50 members of the INSEAD community who are shaping artificial intelligence across finance, healthcare, retail, climate, industrials, media and the public sector. Honorees hail from North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, reflecting the school’s 170+ nationalities and presence in nearly 180 countries. Honorees include founders, executives, board leaders, researchers and educators who turn AI from research into responsible, scaled deployment. Anyone can view the INSEAD AI 50 at INSEADAI50.com.

“INSEAD leaders focus on tangible outcomes customers can feel. They build, deploy, govern and iterate. This list highlights leaders who turn models into products and products into businesses,” said Robert Maciejko, co-founder of the INSEAD AI (alum-led) community and one of the organizers of the INSEAD AI 50.

“AI is moving from hype to execution at remarkable speed. Our global community of leaders, across startups, corporates and institutions, forms a network of learners who help each other cut through the noise and truly understand AI. We are independent and international, with a simple goal: enabling leaders to apply AI effectively, responsibly and at scale,” said Fabio Valle, co-founder of the INSEAD AI (alum-led) community and one of the organizers of the INSEAD AI 50.

Why the INSEAD Network Matters

This alumni initiative builds on the strength of the INSEAD network: one school with a global footprint across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the INSEAD San Francisco Hub that connects the community to the Bay Area ecosystem.

The network includes 70,000+ alumni representing 170+ nationalities in nearly 180 countries. Entrepreneurship is part of the culture. In recent alumni research, 73% of surveyed students and graduates embarked on entrepreneurial ventures after INSEAD. The school is the No. 1 international MBA in Poets&Quants’ 2024–2025 ranking and No. 2 on LinkedIn among all MBA programs, reflecting strong career outcomes and network reach. INSEAD has been an early mover in AI executive education, with faculty translating rigorous research into practical programs for leaders.

“At INSEAD, our mission is to develop responsible leaders who transform business and society. It is inspiring to see our faculty and alumni working together to turn AI insight and capabilities into real-world impact. Their efforts reflect the values that connect INSEAD community worldwide,” said Francisco Veloso, Dean of INSEAD.

What the INSEAD AI 50 recognizes

Selection emphasizes four criteria:

1. real-world outcomes and adoption

2. innovation in product, science or go-to-market

3. leadership and responsible use

4. potential to scale globally

The list is global by design and spans startups, public companies and academia, with selection weighted toward real-world deployment. Honorees this year include leaders based in the United States, France, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, India, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, and China.

Examples include a US developer platform rolling out AI coding copilots to over 100 million developers, a European semiconductor equipment leader using AI to lift lithography yields that power global compute, and an Indian agentic-AI startup turning a “don’t try to out-train foundation models” comment from Sam Altman into production-grade enterprise agents. Governments and healthcare are moving too, with a national digital chief accelerating AI across public services and a surgical team using real-time AI guidance to cut complications and time in the OR.

“INSEAD AI is a builder’s network. We swap playbooks across markets, pair alumni with operators and researchers, and share what works in the field. The AI 50 celebrates practical progress and raises the bar for what responsible adoption looks like,” said Amit Akhelikar, co-founder of INSEAD AI (alum-led) and President, US INSEAD Alumni Association.

“INSEAD’s global community is uniquely positioned to translate AI innovation into value for companies and communities. The AI 50 shines a light on builders who pair entrepreneurial drive with strong ethics and execution,” said Kristin Skogen Lund, Chair of the INSEAD Board of Directors.

Launch event and publication

Announcement: Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 6:00 PM PT at the INSEAD San Francisco Hub. Event sponsor: Lynx Analytics, a company founded by INSEAD alumni and professors, which offers advanced AI solutions through expert consulting.

With 70,000+ alumni in nearly 180 countries, we can move ideas across borders quickly. The AI 50 helps us share what works and lift the whole community,” said Frans Blom, President of the global INSEAD Alumni Association.

Quhuo Limited Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (“Quhuo” or the “Company”), a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Despite a challenging market environment and intense industry competition, the Company continued to advance its dual-track strategy: on the one hand, optimizing on-demand delivery solutions to drive growth, and on the other, accelerating the expansion of housekeeping and accommodation solutions to further enhance profitability.

On-Demand Delivery Solutions: Optimizing Structure to Unlock Potential

Quhuo generated total revenue of RMB1,131.4 million in the first half of 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, competition in China’s food delivery market intensified, with rising costs passed down to service providers and strategic adjustments by major clients reshaping the industry landscape.

In response, Quhuo focused on workforce management and operational optimization, leveraging its strong track record and reputation to secure new business opportunities. While new site launches and integrations temporarily increased costs, the Company observed signs of market share gains relative to its key competitor since May 2025, which management believes will lay a foundation for sustainable growth.

Meanwhile, Quhuo streamlined its management structure and reallocated resources by exiting underperforming sites and concentrating on higher-revenue locations, thereby improving overall operational quality. Management expects that economies of scale and profitability in on-demand delivery solutions may begin to materialize in the second half of 2025.

Housekeeping and Accommodation Solutions: Significant Growth in Revenue and Profitability

In the first half of 2025, Quhuo’s housekeeping and accommodation businesses delivered robust results, with revenue up 70.8% year over year and gross profit increasing 63.4%, becoming a major driver of the Company’s earnings mix.

  • Chengtu (Homestay Business): Revenue grew 83.6% year over year, while gross profit surged 390.8%, achieving a gross margin of 55.2%. Supported by a scalable operating model and the rollout of its proprietary mini program, Chengtu now provides a seamless, closed-loop service from property search to payment. Looking forward, Chengtu plans to open its platform to more property owners by providing standardized management tools and marketing support, transitioning from a property management service provider into a platform operator.
  • Lailai (Hotel and Home Services): Revenue increased 63.6% year over year, driven by its partnership with Ke Holdings Inc. (“Beike”), a leading housing transactions and services platform in China. Lailai provides comprehensive property-related services, including pre- and post-listing maintenance, daily housekeeping, and customized solutions for specific resident groups. Leveraging years of expertise in local life services and its proprietary digital dispatch system, Lailai integrates cleaning, repair, and other services on a single platform, ensuring efficient management and high-quality delivery. Its services currently cover Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Jinan, with plans to expand to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and other cities. Management expects these initiatives to serve as new growth engines for Quhuo’s sustainable development.

New Business Initiatives: Pursuing Stability While Expanding Opportunities

In the first half of 2025, Quhuo continued to optimize its on-demand delivery operations while expanding its housekeeping and accommodation businesses. Recently, the Company entered into a partnership with JD.com to provide on-demand delivery services in select cities, which management believes could generate incremental revenue in China’s competitive food delivery market.

In addition, the Company’s beef supply chain partnership with NIU World has been progressing since its launch in May 2025, generating approximately RMB14.4 million in revenue. Management views this as an important milestone in Quhuo’s transformation from a fulfillment service provider to a supply chain enabler, creating additional value from its core delivery network.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Quhuo will continue to execute its dual-track strategy—strengthening its core operations while accelerating the growth of new business initiatives. With a focus on efficiency, structural optimization, and innovation, the Company aims to deliver more sustainable and stable long-term returns for its shareholders.

About Quhuo Limited

Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) is a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services in China. Leveraging Quhuo+, its proprietary technology infrastructure, Quhuo is dedicated to empowering and linking workers and local life service providers and providing end-to-end operation solutions for the life service market. The Company currently provides multiple industry-tailored operational solutions, primarily including on-demand delivery solutions, mobility service solutions, housekeeping and accommodation solutions, and other services, meeting the living needs of hundreds of millions of families in the communities.

With the vision of promoting employment, stabilizing income and empowering entrepreneurship, Quhuo explores multiple scenarios to promote employment of workers, provides, among others, safety and security and vocational training to protect workers, and helps workers plan their career development paths to realize their self-worth.
