Since its establishment in 2000 by Yoshihide Hayashizaki, Stefano Gustincich is a member of the FANTOM consortium.

The FANTOM project is a joint international effort aiming at studing and characterizing the mammalian transcriptome, in order to “progress from an understanding of the ‘elements’ - the transcripts - to an understanding of the ‘system’ - the transcriptional regulatory network - governing an individual life form”.
