Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our research project aimed to explore the crosstalk between the transcriptional status and energy metabolism. As the organizing group of this project, we held the annual meetings of the research groups and promoted the interaction and collaboration among the members, for example, by setting up “Collaboration Proposal Meeting”. We also supported the workshops organized by graduate students and young scientists, and “Transcription-Metabolism Seminars” held 58 times all over the country. Furthermore, we spread information on a website, held public lectures and announced our achievements to the people through mass media.
