The Genome Cytology Division (Institute for Human Behavior and Evolution) studies the evolution, behavioral traits, environmental responses, and reproduction of primates, including humans, through both experiments and theory. Its research spans levels from DNA, RNA, and proteins to cells, tissues, individuals, and the field. The division also welcomes new research plans proposed by students.

The Laboratory Animal Science Division (Institute for Human Behavior and Evolution) uses laboratory animal science focused on non-human primates to analyze the comparative biological characteristics of monkeys as laboratory animals. It studies differences in growth and development and in naturally occurring diseases by species, age, and environment, and what those differences mean. It also conducts basic research on anesthesia and pain, work on improving anesthesia and pain management, and animal welfare research ranging from stress assessment to environmental enrichment.

The Wildlife Science Division (Wildlife Research Center) studies the ecology, behavior, and society of diverse wild animals living on land and in the sea (mammals, birds, and others) through field surveys and laboratory analysis of samples collected in the field. Combining classical behavioral observation with cutting-edge remote monitoring technologies such as biologging, camera traps, and drones, the division tracks animals in Japan and around the world. It also studies the relationship between human activities and wild animals, and based on the results aims to conserve habitats and promote better coexistence between people and wildlife. The division includes research sections of the Wildlife Research Center, such as the Terrestrial Conservation Research Section (Professor Ikki Matsuda).

The Conservation and Welfare Science Division (Wildlife Research Center) studies the ecology, behavior, and society of terrestrial and marine wild animals (mammals, birds, and others), mainly through laboratory work. Its work includes uncovering genetic diversity and infectious diseases through DNA and parasite analysis, monitoring individual physiology through hormone analysis, and preserving the germ cells of rare species. Using experimental psychology methods and behavioral observation, it investigates animals' cognitive functions and applies the findings to the welfare and breeding of animals in captivity. The division includes research sections of the Wildlife Research Center, such as the Animal Welfare Research Section (Prof. Hirata).

Primate Field Science is a division newly established in fiscal year 2026 that comprehensively studies the ecology, adaptation, and evolution of primates, centered on fieldwork. Its research covers behavior, society, and morphology to understand the biological characteristics of humans; interactions with other organisms; coexistence with local people; fossil primates and paleoenvironments; and evolutionary history through molecular phylogenetics. In addition to fieldwork, it also carries out laboratory analysis of samples, observation of captive groups, and physiological and biochemical experiments.

The Mineralogy Lab studies the formation and evolution of the Earth and the solar system by analyzing terrestrial minerals and meteorites and conducting experiments. By analyzing minerals down to the nanometer scale and combining experiments under both terrestrial and space conditions, the lab aims to clarify the raw materials and evolutionary processes of the solar system. Its research targets also include meteorites that fell from space and extraterrestrial materials brought back by spacecraft such as Hayabusa2. For graduate study, the lab accepts entrants to the master's program and transfer students into the doctoral program, regardless of the university or faculty they come from. The lab holds a research presentation session once a week and also conducts joint lab seminars with other universities. The lab has multiple faculty members with different areas of expertise, and students can receive supervision from different faculty members as needed. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and students can visit from their first year as undergraduates.

The Stellar Physics Lab (Nogami Lab) investigates a wide range of activity phenomena in stars using multiwavelength observations, including visible light and X-rays. In addition to explosive phenomena in binary systems such as cataclysmic variables and X-ray binaries, the lab conducts observational research on superflares on Sun-like stars. Using the 3.8 m Seimei Telescope and the 40 cm telescope at the Okayama Observatory of Kyoto University, the lab carries out high-time-resolution observations of transient phenomena.
