The Group for Public Relations and Educational Support is responsible for conveying to the public the Institute’s scientific activities and achievements, advanced knowledge of the structure and function of DNA, and global trends in the research regarding DNA in a clear and accessible manner. The group’s goal is to help the public understand how the DNA research and its knowledge are related to our everyday life.

Specifically, the Group disseminates relevant information concerning the institute’s scientific activities through press releases and quarterly newsletters, organizes tours of the institute from time to time and gives public lectures to promote understanding and activating the various aspects of DNA-related research. The Group also performs a large variety of hands-on programs of laboratory experiments for the general public, and participates in other scientific events.
