The dermatology lab studies how skin diseases arise, with the aim of linking its findings to diagnosis and treatment. Dermatology is the field that diagnoses and treats lesions that appear on the body surface, including the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and hair. The lab forms teams around themes such as autoimmune bullous diseases, skin stem cells, cutaneous malignancies, and hereditary skin diseases to advance its research. Research centers on clinical research that directly benefits clinical practice and basic research that can be applied in the clinic in the future.

The otolaryngology–head and neck surgery lab treats and researches diseases of the ears, nose, throat, and neck. Its scope extends beyond the ears and nose to the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, salivary glands, and thyroid. These are regions involved in functions essential to human life, such as eating, speaking, and hearing. The lab conducts basic and clinical research and aims to apply the results in daily patient care.

The ophthalmology lab studies how eye diseases arise at the cellular and molecular levels. Research is carried out in six groups: ocular immunology, retinal cell biology (vascular and neural), ocular oncology and pathology, corneal cell biology, and ocular circulation and metabolism. In the lab's Ocular Cell Biology and Visual Science Lab, faculty and graduate students work on experiments together. Besides research using animal models, the lab analyzes tissue collected during surgery and uses AI to analyze images.

The Psychiatry Lab conducts research to clarify how mental illnesses arise and to develop treatments. Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that seeks to understand the human mind and its disorders from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. The lab has a wet lab and equipment for imaging the human brain and measuring brain activity, so students can work on both basic and clinical research. Research is carried out in eight research groups covering schizophrenia, mood disorders, epilepsy, hikikomori (social withdrawal), and more.

The Neurosurgery Lab works on surgical treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, and on research in these areas. With surgical treatment of cerebrovascular disease, brain tumors, and spinal cord and spine disorders as its three pillars, the lab also has specialist staff in endovascular treatment and functional neurosurgery. Based on insights gained from daily clinical practice, the lab carries out both basic and clinical research. The lab invites medical students interested in neurosurgery or related fields to visit.

The Neurology Lab conducts research useful for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. It works on diseases such as spinocerebellar degeneration, multiple system atrophy, multiple sclerosis, muscle diseases, and dementia. It combines various methods, including molecules in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, brain imaging, genetic analysis, and neuropsychological testing. In cooperation with collaborating institutions across Japan, the lab also advances patient registry studies and the discovery of new autoantibodies.

The Neurobiology Lab studies how axons, which extend from neurons in the brain, transmit signals. The axon is the part of a neuron that generates electrical signals called action potentials and carries them to the junction with the next neuron. The lab records electrical signals directly from axon terminals called mossy fibers in the mouse hippocampus and examines how they change. In addition to patch clamp, fluorescence imaging, and optical stimulation, the lab uses computer simulations to check experimental results quantitatively.

The Immunobiology Lab studies the immune mechanisms involved in two main themes: transplantation and cancer. In transplantation, the lab is developing methods to generate, from iPS cells, cells that underlie immune tolerance, aiming to realize safe regenerative medicine. In cancer, the lab studies how immunity is suppressed around tumors and develops new cancer vaccines. Recently, it has also taken up research on cell therapy, which uses cells like drugs, and on xenotransplantation using pig organs.

The Molecular Neuroimmunology Lab studies how the nervous and immune systems influence each other to cause disease. It focuses on the "gateway reflex," in which neural activity creates entry points for immune cells, and the "IL-6 amplifier," which prolongs inflammation. It is also developing technology to detect small inflammation early, before disease develops, and remove it through neural stimulation. The lab also recruits students for the Faculty of Medicine's researcher training program (MD-PhD Course), and welcomes lab visits and consultations at any time.

The lab studies, at the molecular level, the mechanism of autophagy, in which cells degrade their own components. Its approach draws on the concept of liquid–liquid phase separation, in which proteins assemble into liquid-like condensates, and on information about protein three-dimensional structures. The lab pursues two lines of research in parallel: reconstituting complex phenomena in a simplified form in the test tube, and studies using yeast and mammalian cells. The lab belongs to the Institute for Genetic Medicine and also serves as the Molecular Mechanisms of Life Laboratory in the Department of Immune Science at the Graduate School of Medicine.
