The Plant Diversity Genomics Lab studies genes using the Japanese morning glory, a horticultural plant unique to Japan that is also used as an experimental plant. Using mutants that have been preserved since the Edo period, the lab investigates genes involved in morphogenesis and the transposons that cause mutations. As the core institution of the National BioResource Project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the lab also collects, preserves, and distributes morning glory strains. The lab's website introduces it as the "Plant Diversity Genomics Lab, Morning Glory Group."

The Cell Function Lab is a research group in the Department of Biology of the Faculty of Science and the Biological Science Division of the Graduate School of Science at Kyushu University, in which each faculty member conducts research on an independent theme. The materials and methods vary widely, including frog eggs, praying mantises, cultured animal cells, nematodes, and mathematical models. Faculty members collaborate so that each line of research can develop. The lab aims to train undergraduate and graduate students with broad perspectives and a wide range of research skills.

The Chromosome Function Lab studies the mechanisms by which genetic information is accurately inherited, focusing on chromosome replication, repair, and the response to DNA damage. For organisms to replicate themselves, they must replicate DNA, the carrier of genetic information, repair the damage that arises, and distribute it to daughter cells. Using Xenopus egg extracts and purified proteins, the lab reproduces reactions such as chromosome replication and repair in vitro and investigates them. The lab also offers "Nishikaze Juku," a research experience course for second-year undergraduate students.

The Cell Biology Lab studies how tissues, formed by the assembly of cells, maintain their order. The lab focuses on cell competition, a phenomenon in which, when an abnormal cell that does not fit in with its surroundings appears within a tissue, neighboring normal cells detect it and eliminate it. The lab investigates how neighboring cells sense an abnormal cell, focusing on the physical properties between cells. Associate Professor Kana Aoki joined the lab in July 2026.
