The Innovative Rehabilitation Science Lab aims to develop rehabilitation technologies that meet the needs of the times. Applying the PDCA cycle of repeated “assessment” and “intervention” to research as well, the lab tackles a wide range of problems, from molecules and cells to organs, individuals, and society, from both basic and clinical perspectives. Students learn the whole process, from organizing the problem to verifying the results, step by step across the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs.

The Biophysical Rehabilitation Lab aims to establish “regenerative rehabilitation,” which combines physical therapy and regenerative medicine. The lab explores the mechanisms by which physical agent therapy and exercise therapy promote tissue regeneration in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. It conducts basic and applied research using cell culture and laboratory animals, which is unusual in the field of physical therapy. The lab also accepts people without a rehabilitation background and teaches them from the basics.

The Clinical Biomechanics Lab measures and analyzes the movements of young adults, older adults, patients, and athletes using motion capture systems, force plates, electromyography, ultrasound diagnostic equipment, and more. By analyzing the mechanical properties of the forces acting on muscles and joints, as well as the relationship between muscle properties or motor function and movement ability, the lab aims to develop effective treatments and preventive methods. The lab hopes to train physical therapists who have both the clinical ability to treat patients and the research ability to examine the effects of that treatment.

The Biological Function Lab studies the mechanisms of exocytosis at synapses, the junctions that connect neurons. Synaptic exocytosis is the smallest (about 40 nm in diameter) and fastest (within 1 ms) form of exocytosis in the body. The lab aims to uncover how this tiny event varies depending on the brain region and the situation, and how those variations give rise to differences in the properties of neural circuits.

In rehabilitation and occupational therapy for people with impaired physical function, it is important to look at the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. The Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience Lab non-invasively evaluates the excitability of the central nervous system during movement and occupational activities, and works to develop treatment programs based on scientific evidence. The lab actively pursues translational research that brings the results of basic research into clinical treatment. Undergraduate students also belong to the lab as graduation research students.

The Developmental Psychiatry Lab studies neurodevelopmental disorders, mainly autism spectrum disorder, from the perspectives of child and adolescent psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience. Clarifying the characteristic psychophysiology and cognitive processing of these disorders provides a foundation for building accurate understanding and sound support. The graduate program includes students from healthcare professions as well as students with backgrounds in psychology, music therapy, and other fields, and undergraduates also encounter a variety of research methodologies while working on their graduation theses.

The lab explores ways to improve mental function impairments such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as delirium and cognitive impairment that accompany physical illness. It also develops support methods that promote independent living and social adaptation for the people it serves, as well as methods that help improve the abilities of healthy people. The lab conducts research that supports simple assessment and intervention applicable to occupational therapy and psychiatric rehabilitation.

Advances in medicine are improving survival from cancer, and "how to live life after cancer" has become important. The lab supports cancer survivors, as well as people who have experienced brain injury, mainly from brain tumors, and their families, at all ages from children to adults. It conducts research and education on cancer occupational therapy with a long-term view, from the acute phase through the period after return to society.

Molecules that make up living organisms, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and glycans, are diverse in both structure and function. The Nonaka Lab, within Molecular Life and Basic Medical Science, aims to develop methods that use phage libraries containing vast numbers of peptide sequences to efficiently pick out important molecules from among diverse molecules and control their functions. By combining phage display with next-generation sequencing, the lab is building a system to comprehensively obtain peptide sequences that bind to target molecules. Third-year undergraduate students are also assigned to the lab.

Glycans modify the functions of proteins and lipids and give each cell its individuality. The Glycobiology Lab (Morise Lab) focuses on specific glycans to uncover their roles, while also developing technologies to control the expression of diverse glycan structures. If students find an interesting glycan-related topic, the lab also provides an environment where research can move forward with student-led ideas. The lab collaborates with the Nonaka Lab and Nakagawa Lab in the same field.
