The Structural and Functional Biochemistry Lab studies the relationship between molecules that transmit information in the body and the receptor proteins they bind to. The main subjects are nuclear receptors, which regulate gene activity inside the cell nucleus, and receptors for neuropeptides involved in pain and analgesia. The lab investigates at the molecular level how chemical substances in the environment bind to receptors and how peptides activate receptors. On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name "Matsushima Lab."

The Dynamic Life Chemistry Lab develops chemical biology techniques that visualize proteins using synthetic fluorescent molecules. Inside cells, countless biomolecules change location and work where they are needed, regulating the physiological functions of the cell. Using its original protein labeling technology, the lab aims to clarify how proteins move inside living cells and how they regulate biological phenomena. The lab also aims to elucidate biological phenomena regulated by nucleic acids, glycans, and extracellular vesicles, and to freely control the functions of biomolecules.

The Theoretical Chemistry Lab conducts research that theoretically elucidates the structures, properties, and changes of molecules and molecular assemblies using quantum chemistry (computational chemistry). Based on first principles such as the Schrödinger equation, the lab aims to investigate through calculation without relying on empirical input. Its topics include reactions in solution, molecules containing heavy atoms, biomolecules, and algorithm development for calculations using quantum computers. The lab's website introduces it as a lab of the Department of Chemistry in the School of Sciences, the Department of Chemistry in the Graduate School of Sciences, and the Chemistry Division of the Faculty of Sciences.

The Catalytic Organic Chemistry Lab studies a wide range of fields in organic chemistry and catalytic chemistry, centered on the development of catalysts and catalytic reactions. It works on everything from homogeneous catalysts such as metal complex catalysts to solid catalysts, and is a somewhat unusual lab in studying both at the same time. Some of the reactions it handles are for organic synthesis and fine chemical synthesis, but many target the synthesis of commodity chemicals and petrochemicals. The lab's website states that being weak in organic chemistry as an undergraduate is not much of a problem.

The Quantum Biochemistry Lab studies chemical and biological phenomena such as molecular motors, protein association, and electron transfer reactions, based on the methodology of physics. Biopolymers such as proteins play the leading role in chemical reactions in living organisms, but their function depends on a supporting player: a suitable solvent. The lab aims to uncover, from a theoretical standpoint, the fascinating side stories that solvents create.

The Photofunctional Materials Chemistry Lab aims to develop molecular devices, creating new materials with distinctive optical, magnetic, and electronic functions and studying their properties. Its work centers on developing metal complexes and molecular crystals whose properties change substantially in response to stimuli such as light or an electric field. A representative research subject is photomagnetic materials, whose magnetism changes when they are irradiated with light. The lab is a research group of the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering, and is introduced as a lab of the Faculty of Sciences' Department of Chemistry and the Graduate School of Sciences' Department of Chemistry.

The Structural Organic Chemistry Lab synthesizes organic π-electron compounds of structural, theoretical, and physical interest, and aims to clarify the relationship between their structures and their properties and functions. Its research targets extend beyond molecules to supramolecules, molecular assemblies, and metal complexes. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tani-Goto Lab." The website encourages people interested in the research or wishing to visit the lab to get in touch freely.

The Nano Physical Chemistry Lab creates new functional materials through the self-assembly of nanoparticles and applies them to biosensing. The lab investigates plasmon resonance, a phenomenon that occurs at the interface between metals and organic substances, across a broad range. A recent focus is the “plasmonic nanosheet,” a two-dimensional array of silver nanoparticles. The lab is exploring applications of this material, which confines light in a sheet only a few nanometers thick and guides it efficiently. On the lab’s website, it is introduced as the “Tamada-Okamoto Lab.”

The Nano Functional Chemistry Lab develops new functional substances and materials by making use of the characteristics of various elements. Aiming at energy-saving and resource-saving chemical processes, the lab develops nanoscale substances that show high performance in catalysis, energy storage, and mass transport. By controlling the size, shape, and composition of solids at the nanometer scale, the lab makes new catalysts with high activity. On the lab’s website, it is introduced as the “Yamauchi Lab.”

The Soft Interface Chemistry Lab studies soft interfaces, such as films of surface-active substances and biological membranes. Soft interfaces are involved in daily life through foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, and understanding their function requires clarifying the structure and morphology of the membranes. The lab combines interfacial tension measurements, microscopy, spectroscopy, and X-ray measurements using synchrotron radiation. The faculty members belong to the Faculty of Arts and Science and also hold appointments in the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science.
