Outline of Final Research Achievements

This Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas was established to promote multidisciplinary research on autophagy by coordinating in vitro reconstitution biology, structural biology, cell biology, genetics of model organisms, and human pathophysiology. This "International Activities Supporting Group" set up Researcher Exchange Program Committee and Collaboration Promoting Committee. Aiming to promote bilateral joint research or international collaboration, our focus was on placing Japanese researchers overseas and on inviting or employing foreign researchers
