The lab's research centers on skin immunology and allergy. Dermatology practice has long relied heavily on experience-based visual assessment, but it has now entered an era of new drugs, such as molecular targeted drugs, based on disease mechanisms. Because correctly understanding the actions and side effects of new drugs requires a grounding in science, the lab aims to train first-rate physician-scientists. In keeping with Kyoto University's tradition of valuing freedom, the lab works to build a department that respects each member's independence and diversity.

The Developmental Pediatrics lab focuses on abnormalities that arise during child development, and advances both basic research and clinical practice on a wide range of intractable childhood diseases. Many childhood diseases result from abnormalities in the developmental process, so studying those abnormalities leads to new diagnostics and treatments for intractable diseases. The lab practices holistic medicine that treats each child as a whole person. The lab includes an endowed chair in neonatology.

The Radiation Oncology and Image-Applied Therapeutics lab aims to develop innovative radiotherapy technologies for malignant tumors and other conditions, and to apply them in the clinic to improve treatment outcomes. In molecular biology research, the lab investigates why some tumors respond poorly to radiotherapy and develops ways to overcome this resistance. In physics and engineering research, the lab develops high-precision radiotherapy technologies, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy and four-dimensional radiotherapy, which accounts for motion inside the body. The lab welcomes physicians, biologists, and physicists and engineers who are interested in clinical cancer care and in research and development.

The Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine lab is a field that aims to contribute to medicine by making use of imaging technologies. From head to toe, the lab uses a variety of diagnostic imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and angiography, and is involved with almost every clinical department. The lab supports patient care in many ways: it not only provides the information about the body that is needed in the form of images, but also performs minimally invasive treatment guided by images.

The lab conducts clinical practice, education, and research in clinical laboratory medicine, infectious diseases, and clinical microbiology. By interpreting epidemiological information at every scale, from the finest details to the broadest trends, the lab works on developing highly accurate diagnostic techniques for clinical laboratory testing and on building solid evidence for effective treatments. To realize a "society not troubled by infectious diseases," the lab collaborates with a wide range of fields, going beyond clinical medicine.

The lab performs highly precise minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal tumors such as esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancer, as well as for benign conditions such as reflux esophagitis, morbid obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease. The lab values the process of scientifically resolving questions that arise in daily clinical practice, and plans and promotes many clinical studies. The lab also conducts basic research on elucidating the pathology of gastrointestinal cancers and developing new treatments, and develops new medical technologies and surgical education systems, training young surgeons with a broad perspective.

The lab provides surgery and multidisciplinary cancer treatment for diseases of the liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. The lab performs minimally invasive treatment such as laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery, and in liver transplantation it carries out many transplants for end-stage liver disease and liver cancer. With a view to returning results to the clinic, the lab conducts wide-ranging research on hepato-pancreato-biliary cancer and on regenerative and transplant medicine, and aims to train surgeons who can understand cutting-edge basic research. The lab hosts an endowed department, the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology Control and Organ Regeneration Surgery.

The lab conducts research to optimize and make less invasive the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, to develop new diagnostic and treatment methods, and to build systems for personalized treatment. Among Japanese women, breast cancer is most common in their 40s and after menopause. Responding to breast cancer that develops at a young age, and optimizing treatment for breast cancer that develops in older age, are also challenges. So that women with breast cancer can remain active in their roles in society and at home and plan a fulfilling life, the lab researches integrated care from diagnosis through treatment, in collaboration with other specialties.

As a discipline of systemic patient management, anesthesiology aims to protect patients from the physiological insult (the burden placed on the body) caused by surgery, infection, trauma, and the like. Clinical activities fall broadly into three areas: anesthesia for surgery, intensive care, and pain treatment. The lab's greatest goal is to clarify how the body responds to insult and to develop systemic management and treatments that suppress excessive responses.

The lab consists of four fields (perinatal medicine, gynecologic oncology, reproductive medicine, and women's health medicine) and addresses issues across women's entire life cycle, from adolescence to menopause. Perinatal medicine supports the health of mother and child during pregnancy; gynecologic oncology deals with benign and malignant tumors in women; and reproductive medicine deals with infertility and reproductive endocrinology. Women's health medicine is taught as primary care covering all diseases related to the physical and mental characteristics specific to women.
