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.)

The Marine Molecular Microbiology Lab studies microorganisms living in oceans and lakes: phages, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic microalgae. Combining ecology, physiology and biochemistry, and molecular biology, the lab investigates microbial diversity, survival strategies, and interactions with other organisms. The lab also aims to make use of novel genetic resources found in microorganisms. Undergraduates join the Marine Biological Science course in their third year and are assigned to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Marine Environmental Microbiology Lab aims at microbe-based manufacturing, environmental restoration, and an understanding of the marine biosphere. With the aim of returning research results to society, the lab works on producing materials such as biofuels with microorganisms, reducing carbon dioxide, and purifying water. The lab also studies microorganisms living in extreme marine environments, such as hydrothermal vent fields on the deep seafloor around the world. Undergraduates join the Marine Biological Science course in their third year and are assigned to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Marine Bioproduction and Utilization Lab searches marine algae, invertebrates, and microorganisms for functional substances useful for health and daily life. In collaboration with research institutions in Japan and abroad, the lab studies new functions and uses of components expected to help with allergies, obesity, skin beauty, and more. Using methods of cell biology and molecular biology, the lab also investigates how these components work and how they are absorbed in the body. Undergraduates join the Marine Biological Science course in their third year and are assigned to this lab within the course in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture).
Masato Kinoshita, Associate Professor

The Marine Biological Function Lab studies the functions of genes, proteins, and metabolites in marine organisms. Its work ranges from developing genetic modification techniques suited to aquatic organisms and methods for identifying peptides, to breeding fish species important to fisheries and promoting health through food components. The lab has two groups: the Kinoshita group, which works on fish, and the Asai group, which investigates the health-promoting functions of foods derived from marine organisms. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Marine Biological Science course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year. (Graduate students belong to the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture.)

The Plant Genetics Lab studies the universality of genetic mechanisms and the diversity of organisms, using plants, especially wheat, as its material. It investigates groups of genes involved in agriculturally important traits, adaptation to the environment, and interactions with pathogens, as well as changes in genomes and chromosomes. From a genetics perspective, the lab also studies speciation, the emergence of new crop species, and the evolution of allopolyploids, with the aim of applying the results to crop breeding. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Advanced Bioscience course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year. (Graduate students belong to the Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture.)
Takashi Araki, Professor

The lab studies the various responses that plants show to their internal and external environments. Using two model plants, Arabidopsis thaliana and the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, the lab uncovers these mechanisms at the molecular level and aims to discover principles common to all land plants. At the graduate level, the lab is the Molecular and Metabolic Regulation Lab (Araki Lab) of the Graduate School of Biostudies. Undergraduates are assigned to the Advanced Biological Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (the graduate school is the Graduate School of Biostudies, Division of Integrated Life Science).
Toshiyuki Sakai, Associate Professor

The lab studies how cultivated plants arose and evolved. Using a wide variety of cultivated plants from around the world collected through fieldwork, the lab analyzes genome sequences with bioinformatics. Undergraduates are assigned to the Advanced Biological Science Course in their third year, and to this lab within the course in their fourth year (the graduate school is the Graduate School of Agriculture, Division of Applied Biosciences).
