The Tropical Agroecology Lab studies the various relationships between people, crops, and the surrounding natural environment in the tropics. Graduate students conduct experiments and field surveys in countries such as Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Cameroon, but they can also carry out their research in Japan. The lab respects students' independence, and students can approach research from a variety of perspectives as long as it relates to tropical agriculture. Undergraduates are assigned to the Plant Production Sciences course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Soil Science Lab studies soil in search of sustainable ways of using land in harmony with nature. Soil is the cornerstone of the ecosystems that support agriculture and the natural environment, and it is deeply connected to both food production and environmental problems. The lab conducts fieldwork in many parts of the world, mainly in Asia and Africa, including Indonesia, Vietnam, and Tanzania. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Plant Production Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (the graduate program is the Division of Agronomy and Horticultural Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Animal Genetics and Breeding Lab studies how the various traits that appear in animals are inherited by their offspring and grandoffspring, and how they come to be expressed. The lab works with model animals for obesity and diabetes, resource animals native to Japan such as Wagyu cattle, and rare animals such as the Japanese crested ibis and the oriental stork. Based on molecular genetics and statistical genetics, the lab uses new methods such as omics, aiming to contribute to the genetic evaluation and improvement of Wagyu cattle and to the conservation of rare animals. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Applied Animal Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (the graduate program is the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Reproductive Biology Lab aims to understand the mechanisms of mammalian reproduction and to apply that understanding to controlling reproduction in livestock and other resource animals. At the molecular level, the lab studies the development of fertilized eggs in mice and cattle, genes specific to eggs, and how the environment surrounding early embryos affects growth and health. The lab accepts lab visits and invites those who want to hear more about its research themes to visit. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Applied Animal Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (the graduate program is the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Animal Nutrition Science Lab aims to establish basic nutritional science for improving animals' quality of life (QOL). Animals cannot live without taking in nutrients every day, but they do not always eat a nutritionally complete diet. The lab therefore works on identifying nutrient deficiencies and excesses and on understanding how animals respond to them. Undergraduates are assigned to the Applied Animal Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate school: Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Functional Anatomy Lab studies the anatomical and histological features and physiological functions of mammalian organs. It also studies the changes that occur when organs become abnormal due to environmental or genetic factors, that is, the mechanisms of disease. The animals used in research range widely, from laboratory animals such as mice and rats to livestock such as pigs and cattle. Undergraduates are assigned to the Applied Animal Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate school: Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Animal Husbandry Resources Lab studies the many problems involved in livestock production from an interdisciplinary and comprehensive perspective. In addition to laboratory experiments, it uses field surveys, computer simulation, and satellite data, covering a broad range from biology to economics, rural sociology, and cultural anthropology. Research sites are centered on Japan but extend overseas to Nepal, Thailand, and China. Undergraduates are assigned to the Applied Animal Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate school: Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Bioresource Informatics Lab studies methods for extracting, analyzing, and using information to support the use and conservation of terrestrial and marine biological resources. The lab belongs to the Biosphere Informatics Division of the Graduate School of Informatics, which also includes the Biological Environment Informatics Lab. Using environmental DNA, biologging, and large-scale data, the lab also works on the conservation of animals at risk of extinction, such as sea turtles and the Mekong giant catfish. Undergraduates can join the Biosphere Informatics Division when they are assigned to a division in their fourth year. For graduate study, the lab accepts students through the Social Informatics Course of the Graduate School of Informatics (application category "社-8").

The Marine Environmental Biology Lab studies marine organisms and the biological, physical, and chemical environment that surrounds them. The lab develops and uses biologging and biotelemetry, methods for measuring the behavior of organisms directly. It also studies how to maintain the richness of marine ecosystems by clarifying and modeling the mechanisms that produce marine biological resources. Undergraduates are assigned to the Marine Biological Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year. (For graduate study, the lab is part of the Division of Applied Biosciences in the Graduate School of Agriculture.)

The Marine Biological Propagation Lab studies changes in the body form of fish and other aquatic animals, and how their populations are structured. The lab's research includes studies of metamorphosis and morphological abnormalities in flounders from the perspective of hormones, and studies using DNA to examine the structure of fish populations and the conservation of rare species. Students each work on their own themes, including endangered species such as the Japanese lates (akame) and the Tokai stone catfish (nekogigi), and fish of the Ariake Sea. Undergraduates are assigned to the Marine Biological Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year. (For graduate study, the lab is part of the Division of Applied Biosciences in the Graduate School of Agriculture.)
