The Trans-scale Structural Life Science Lab studies how cells maintain protein quality, from the level of molecular structure to the level of the cell. Because proteins can function only after folding into the correct three-dimensional structure, cells have mechanisms that help proteins fold properly and mechanisms that remove those that fail to do so. The lab investigates how these two mechanisms work, using methods such as structural biology, biochemistry, and cell biology. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Inaba Lab."

The Organogenesis and Regeneration Lab studies mammalian development and regeneration, focusing on digestive organs such as the liver, intestine, and esophagus. Through experiments at the levels of genes, cells, tissues, organs, and whole organisms, the lab examines from multiple angles how development proceeds and how regeneration occurs after injury. By studying the liver, where the existence of stem cells is unclear, alongside the intestine and esophagus, where a stem cell system is essential, the lab seeks to capture the diversity of stem cell systems in digestive organs. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Suzuki Lab."

The Skin Regeneration and Aging Lab uses skin as a model to study the mechanisms of organ regeneration and aging, starting from the behavior of tissue stem cells. The lab aims to clarify at the molecular level how stem cell heterogeneity is maintained and how it breaks down, and to develop ways to enable organs to keep regenerating over a long period. The lab is strong in analyses using genetically modified mice, and also incorporates glycan engineering, bioengineering, and omics analysis. Graduate students belong to the Graduate School of Medical Sciences, and applicants with backgrounds in science or engineering are also welcome.

The Stem Cell Medicine Lab, part of the Division of Cell Function Regulation at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation, takes stem cells and regenerative medicine as its research themes. According to the researcher profile, the generation of human induced intestinal progenitor cells with medical applications is listed as research with keywords such as direct reprogramming. Recent papers also report research on converting the fate of liver and blood vessel cells.

The Immune Genome Biology Lab, centered on B cells, aims to identify the causes of intractable diseases and apply the findings to medicine. B cells protect against infection, but they are also deeply involved in the onset and worsening of autoimmune diseases, allergies, and inflammation. The lab studies B cell differentiation and function at the genome, molecular, cellular, and organismal levels, and extends this work to human B cells. It also focuses on the breakdown of immune tolerance and immunosenescence, aiming to develop diagnostics and therapies to overcome disease.

The Immunogenetics Lab studies the immune processes that take place between mother and child, focusing on immune cells and the placenta. Originally, the lab studied DOCK family molecules, which regulate the cytoskeleton of immune cells, using genetically modified mice. Recently, it has focused on the unique immune environment of the perinatal period and on the placenta, which connects the mother and fetus, to explore how transgenerational disease predisposition arises. The lab's guiding philosophy is to boldly take on the discovery and redefinition of phenomena specific to the fetal and early childhood periods that have been overlooked until now, approaching them not only from an immunological perspective but also from a cross-organ, interdisciplinary one.
Hitoshi Kurumizaka, Professor

The Chromatin Structure and Function Lab studies the structure and properties of chromatin, the form in which DNA is packaged inside the cell nucleus, to understand how gene transcription is switched ON and OFF. Using methods to assemble chromatin from DNA and proteins in a test tube, as well as cutting-edge techniques such as cryo-electron microscopy, the lab clarifies the molecular mechanisms of reactions from three-dimensional structures. The lab's website is that of the Kurumizaka Lab at the Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, the University of Tokyo. Professor Kurumizaka also holds concurrent appointments at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation and the Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences at Kyushu University.

The Cancer Genome Regulation Lab is a lab established in the Division of Interdisciplinary Life Sciences at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation. Its registered research field is to elucidate the structure, function, and dynamics of genomic DNA and the cell nucleus in order to lead to breast cancer treatment. The faculty are Professor Saito and Assistant Professor Ishihara. Both also hold concurrent faculty appointments in the Department of Systems Life Sciences, Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences.

The Allergy Defense Lab studies immune functions that take place in the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Its research keywords include central nervous system, immunity, cerebral infarction, γδ T cells, defense against infection, and IL-17A. In recent papers, the lab has used mice to examine immune cells in the brain. The lab belongs to the Division of Interdisciplinary Life Sciences at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation.
