The Plant Physiology Lab works closely with the Plant Diversity Genomics Lab to study the functions of plant cell organelles and the mechanisms of environmental adaptation using genetic engineering methods. Using model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, the lab searches for key factors involved in environmental factors such as CO2, temperature, humidity, and nitrogen nutrition, as well as in stress such as pathogen infection. The lab also analyzes the functions of chloroplasts and the mechanisms of their formation. Many aspects of the core functions of plant cells remain unexplained, and the lab aims to make discoveries that open the way to new research.

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.

The Algebraic Geometry Lab studies the shapes formed by the common zeros of polynomials. It is a research field that untangles the complexity of shapes from multiple viewpoints, including algebra and topological analysis, and discovers their mysterious forms. The field is also deeply connected to commutative algebra, the theory of complex manifolds, and arithmetic geometry. Faculty research includes rationally connected varieties, the Oka principle, and algebraic K-theory.

The lab builds on single-variable complex analysis (function theory), which students study as undergraduates, by considering several variables and carrying out analysis on complex manifolds. Professor Yutaka Ishii works on complex dynamical systems and fractals, and Professor Joe Kamimoto works on several complex variables and partial differential equations. Associate Professor Yuta Kusakabe studies the Oka principle, the homotopy principle of complex analysis, from the standpoint of several complex variables and complex geometry.

The lab provides education and research in mathematical informatics and numerical analysis, which is the mathematics of computers. It studies how to implement, as software, the many kinds of mathematical phenomena that arise in the natural sciences, engineering, and information science. The faculty's specialties include optimization, cryptography, numerical analysis, computer algebra, multivariate analysis, and mathematical modeling. Most of the faculty belong to the Institute of Mathematics for Industry, and some belong to the Faculty of Mathematics.

The differential equations lab is a research and education field that studies differential equations in the Faculty of Science's Department of Mathematics and the Graduate School of Mathematics at Kyushu University. Differential equations are closely connected not only to mathematics but also to many areas of science, so the field of research is very broad and diverse. Broadly, they include ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and stochastic differential equations. The faculty's research keywords include partial differential equations, dynamical systems, numerical analysis, and mathematical modeling.

Differential geometry is a field that seeks to understand the geometric properties of shapes through how they curve (curvature). It has one of its origins in Gauss's theory of surfaces, and it is connected with many other fields, including topology, integrable systems, and information theory. The faculty's research includes the geometry of Alexandrov spaces, the Oka principle in complex analysis, and compact quotients of homogeneous spaces.
