The Reaction-Driven Drug Discovery Chemistry Lab is part of a group that works together with the Division of Molecular Synthetic Pharmaceutical Sciences. It works on creating organic molecules that have been difficult to synthesize until now, as well as molecules with new structures, functions, and drug efficacy. The group develops new molecular transformation reactions and uses them to create next-generation molecules that form the foundation of drug discovery and life sciences. Going beyond the boundaries of chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, the lab pursues interdisciplinary research in collaboration with researchers in various fields. Students can request assignment to the lab as third-year undergraduates or as graduate students.

The Clinical Pharmacotherapy Lab studies how drugs work and what side effects they cause using patient data, and explores how to use them rationally. The lab's research is introduced as "Research Activities" on the website of the Department of Pharmacy, Kyushu University Hospital. Because a drug that is misused becomes a "poison" with nothing but side effects, the lab collects and carefully examines patient data and builds up evidence for the most rational way to use drugs for the next patient. The research covers a wide range, and the lab states that there are opportunities for everyone to take the leading role.

The Pharmaceutical Information Analysis Lab uses real-world data and large-scale medical data to study the mechanisms behind side effects and to predict drug efficacy and side effects. It also aims to search for therapeutic target molecules and to apply machine-learning-based prediction of drug efficacy and side effects to medical care. Its research themes also include establishing disease risk assessment and personalized medicine through the use of genetic information in community healthcare. It is a cooperating division of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and its faculty member, Associate Professor Hiroaki Hamano, is introduced as affiliated with the Department of Pharmacy, Okayama University Hospital, and the Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, Kyushu University.

The Drug Delivery Systems Lab (a collaborative chair) is a field that deals with drug delivery systems (DDS). DDS is a technology and system that "clothes" a drug so that it acts at the necessary place, in the necessary amount, for the necessary time, improving its efficacy, safety, and usability. Its faculty members belong to Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical, Astellas Pharma, and Shionogi. This collaborative chair plans to explain DDS for oral, injectable, and topical formulations in turn.

The Industry-Academia-Government Collaborative Drug Discovery Lab is a collaborative chair established in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Kyushu University. Its research areas include radiopharmaceuticals, adverse drug reaction biomarkers, clinical pharmacology, sex-difference pharmacology, and the application of human iPS cells to drug discovery. Professor Yoshiro Saito is listed with the National Institute of Health Sciences, Professor Susumu Nakade with Ono Pharmaceutical, and Professor Junko Kurokawa with the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Shizuoka. Prof. Saito lists regulatory science and adverse drug reaction biomarkers as his research themes. Prof. Nakade lists clinical pharmacology in new drug development. Prof. Kurokawa lists sex-difference pharmacology in the cardiovascular field and the application of human iPS cells to drug discovery.

The Kampo Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences Lab (visiting chair) aims to elucidate the mechanisms of action of Kampo medicine from a molecular pharmacology perspective and to contribute to medicinal resources. The crude drugs that make up Kampo medicines are natural products, and uniformity of quality is a major challenge. The lab also aims to conduct research on evaluating the quality of constituent crude drugs by pharmacological or genetic analysis. The lab invites visiting professors from institutions such as China Pharmaceutical University, with which the university has an inter-departmental exchange agreement, and aims to enrich research and education at the graduate school and to promote education for working professionals. Another aim of the lab is to build a foundation for an international cooperation framework in pharmaceutical sciences.

The Green Pharma Structural Analysis Center is a research facility that supports 3D structural analysis for pharmaceutical sciences. It was completed in January 2022 as part of the systems drug discovery research initiative promoted by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Its aim is to accelerate "Green Pharma" drug discovery research, which combines expanding the indications of existing approved drugs with the synthesis of environmentally friendly drugs. The center carries out structural analysis research using some of the world's most advanced cryo-electron microscopes.

The Green Chemistry Division is part of the Green Pharma Institute of the Systems Drug Discovery Research Center at Kyushu University, and studies drug synthesis with low environmental impact. The institute upholds "Green Pharma," which combines green chemistry (drug synthesis with low environmental impact) with ikuyaku research, which extends already approved drugs to new uses. Building on synthetic organic chemistry, the fields of Prof. Ohshima and Prof. Hirai develop catalytic synthetic reactions and design and synthesize molecules that could become drug candidates. The institute brings together people with expertise in synthetic organic chemistry, structural analysis, and clinical pharmacy, and its divisions collaborate on research.

The Eco-Pharma Division is one of the divisions of the Green Pharma Institute of the Systems Drug Discovery Research Center at Kyushu University. The institute conducts research combining drug discovery science and clinical pharmacy, and in recent years has also put effort into drug repositioning research. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has pursued ikuyaku research (Eco-Pharma), which extends approved drugs to new indications. The researcher information for the division's faculty members lists themes such as the mechanisms of chronic pain and itch and the functions of membrane proteins.

The Green Pharma Division is one of the three divisions of the Green Pharma Institute, newly established to integrate and build on the achievements of the Green Chemistry Division and the Eco-Pharma Division. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has so far pursued ikuyaku research (Eco-Pharma), which extends approved drugs to new indications. Combining this with green chemistry, which enables drug synthesis with low environmental impact, gives "Green Pharma," a research area that has developed as a distinctive strength of Kyushu University. The institute works with the Green Pharma Structural Analysis Center, which performs structural and functional analysis using cryo-electron microscopy, and conducts drug discovery research based on the three-dimensional structures of molecules.
