The Biochemical Engineering Lab (Atomi Lab) studies microorganisms, especially archaea. Archaea are organisms that are phylogenetically distinct from both bacteria and eukaryotes, and they include diverse groups such as methanogens, halophiles, and hyperthermophiles. They have many features not found in other organisms, such as the structure of their membrane lipids and metabolic pathways found in neither bacteria nor eukaryotes. Within archaeal physiology, the lab focuses in particular on the regulation of metabolism and transcription.

The Molecular Assembly Chemistry Lab (Furukawa Lab) aims to create new porous materials that help solve challenges in health, the environment, and energy. While deepening the fundamental chemistry of molecular assemblies, the lab works with scientists from many fields at iCeMS, Kyoto University's interdisciplinary research hub. It is a group that values diversity, bringing together students and researchers of many nationalities, cultures, and scientific fields. In this international environment, the lab pursues interdisciplinary research with chemistry at its core.

The Functional Solid State Chemistry Lab studies the analysis, design, and synthesis of functional solid materials for energy, the environment, and medicine. Focusing on electrochemical energy, which converts energy with high efficiency, the lab develops materials for fuel cells, lithium-ion secondary batteries, and more. Based on crystal chemistry theory, the lab precisely analyzes and designs structures. By synthesizing ceramics inspired by how living organisms form bone, the lab also develops materials that heal bone and microcapsules that deliver drugs.

The Interfacial Energy Process Lab (Nohira Lab) is an electrochemistry lab at the Institute of Advanced Energy. Aiming to solve energy problems, the lab conducts new research based on electrochemistry. Using molten salts and ionic liquids, the lab works on CO2 capture and utilization, the production and recycling of energy materials and functional materials, and the development of safe rechargeable batteries. Lab visits are accepted at any time.

The Soft Matter Engineering Lab (the Yamamoto Lab) works on theoretical modeling of soft matter and biological phenomena. The lab has studied various transport phenomena in complex fluids and soft matter such as polymers and colloids, mainly through computer simulation. In microscopic simulations such as molecular dynamics, handling the mesoscale and macroscale phenomena that matter in soft matter requires enormous computation time. The lab therefore aims to draw on new advances in theory to develop original methodologies useful for chemical engineering.

The Interface Control Engineering Lab studies the theme of "engineering of nanoscale confined spaces." An interface is where two phases with different properties meet, and molecules there show properties different from those in the bulk. In nanospaces such as porous materials and nanoparticles, where these effects are strong, the lab analyzes and models the behavior and structure of molecules and particles through simulation and experiments. The lab aims to link microscopic structure with macroscopic function and apply this to creating functional materials and designing processes.

The Reaction Engineering Lab (Kawase Lab) develops new reaction processes and materials based on an understanding of reaction mechanisms and reaction processes. The lab studies modeling and process development for a variety of reaction processes, and the production of new functional materials using chemical reactions. It works on modeling electrochemical processes such as fuel cells, and on producing materials by CVD. It also studies how to efficiently convert carbon resources such as coal and biomass into energy and useful chemicals.

The Separation Engineering Lab (Sano Lab) aims to establish advanced separation engineering. Separation technology is used in processes such as chemical manufacturing to purify materials and remove impurities and harmful substances. The lab develops separation operations and equipment based on various principles, including adsorption, drying, electric fields, and biological processes. It also studies applying new nanomaterials such as carbon nanohorns to separation, and process technologies for freezing and drying foods and pharmaceuticals.

The Dynamic Interfacial Chemistry Lab (McNamee Lab) studies colloid and interface chemistry. In industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food, fine particles in liquids disperse or aggregate, and this is determined by the forces acting between the particles. When products are made or used, they are in a non-equilibrium state subject to mixing, temperature changes, electric fields, and so on, and the forces acting there change as well. The lab experimentally investigates how the forces acting on colloidal systems change under non-equilibrium conditions, and explores ways to control those forces freely.

The Transport Phenomena Lab (Maeda Lab) studies transport phenomena concerning the flows of matter, energy, and information. In systems far from equilibrium, such as living cells, patterns and spontaneous flows that do not occur in equilibrium systems emerge, and the principles that govern their control are still not understood. Through experiments, theory, and computation, the lab investigates transport phenomena in soft matter and active matter, as well as the energetics of nanomachines. The lab aims to open up a new field that bridges physics and chemical engineering.
