The lab puts great effort into developing new medical care for malignant tumors such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, urothelial carcinoma, and testicular cancer, as well as for kidney transplantation and minimally invasive treatment. The clinical and research divisions are located close together and work in collaboration, balancing translational research that responds to clinical needs with basic research that probes the fundamentals of life science. While enrolled, graduate students have almost no hospital duties, and an environment has been set up where they can concentrate on research.

The lab provides surgical treatment for the full range of cardiovascular diseases in adults and children: congenital, aortic, ischemic, valvular, and arrhythmia. It also actively takes on difficult operations such as thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, as well as the latest treatments such as stent grafts and catheter-based aortic valve treatment. Through joint research with the university's iPS cell research institute and outside research institutions, the lab also focuses on exploratory medicine, which applies research results in the clinic.

The lab was founded in 1941 and has led the field of thoracic surgery in Japan. For lung cancer, which is on the rise, it performs minimally invasive surgery using thoracoscopes and robots. The lab has performed more lung transplants than any other in Japan, and also supports facilities that are starting lung transplantation. It trains doctors who are skilled not only in surgical technique but also in examinations and supportive therapies around surgery, and who can handle everything from diagnosis to treatment.

The lab treats congenital conditions and reconstructs tissue lost to disease or injury, providing treatments that restore appearance and heal wounds cleanly. To improve appearance, the lab also restores the underlying structures that cannot be seen from the outside, and reconstructs function as well. It uses cutting-edge techniques, from difficult operations such as microsurgery to laser treatment and cell-based regenerative medicine. The lab values research that is close to clinical practice. It develops new materials jointly with basic research labs and companies, with the goal of bringing them to actual clinical settings.

The lab researches the mechanisms of the various diseases that affect the eyeball, an organ with a complex and delicate structure, and develops treatments for them. Aiming for a true integration of insights from clinical practice with high-quality research, the lab takes both research and clinical care seriously. The lab holds that anyone who wants to think about eye diseases a little more deeply is fully qualified to join.

The lab treats a wide range of diseases of the head and neck as a whole. Its main research focuses on senses such as hearing, balance, smell, and taste, and on functions such as breathing, swallowing, and vocalization. Through regeneration of inner ear sensory cells and the eardrum using regenerative medicine, and through the development of systems that deliver drugs to the inner ear, the lab aims to create new treatments for inner ear hearing loss. The lab is also advancing airway regeneration using artificial tracheas and iPS cells, research on tissue stem cells of the larynx, and the development of robots to support precise surgery. This lab has an endowed chair, the Department of Advanced Therapeutics for Head and Neck Tumors.

Orthopedic surgery treats diseases and injuries of the entire musculoskeletal system, from birth to the end of life. Knee pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain are experienced by many people, and fractures of the femur and spine are a major cause of older adults becoming bedridden. Overcoming impairments of motor function not only improves patients' quality of life but also enables social participation and reduces the burden of care. The lab aims to realize a society where people can move their bodies in good health throughout their lives. The department includes two endowed units: Musculoskeletal Function Reconstruction and Advanced Medicine for Rheumatic Diseases.

Oral surgery is a department that studies the form, function, and disease mechanisms of the mouth, jaw, and face, centering on the teeth, periodontal tissue, and jawbone, and trains people who can devise and carry out better treatments. Research uses a wide range of approaches, from genetic analysis to biomedical engineering using biomaterials and CAD/CAM, the introduction of AI, and epidemiological studies. The goal is to bring research results back into clinical oral surgery.

Psychiatry was established in 1902 as the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology, and it has played a central role in clinical practice and research in Japanese psychiatry. The lab has left a significant mark in psychopathology, neuropsychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, neuropathology, and epileptology. While carrying on its tradition of emphasizing clinical research, the lab also flexibly adopts new research methods such as neuroimaging. Its greatest feature is that its various research groups work without barriers and interact with one another, and from this interaction they produce results in clinical care, research, and education.

Medical informatics is a field that aims to acquire informatics knowledge and develop information technology that support the effectiveness and efficiency of medicine and healthcare. Another goal of the lab is to interpret healthcare, a social activity of people, through the generation, transmission, transformation, storage, and use of information. The research is carried out in real clinical settings, with faculty from informatics and medicine working together with many specialists from the hospital and the Graduate School of Medicine. The lab accepts many graduate students from the Graduate School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Informatics, including international students.
