The Cell Bioengineering Lab seeks to understand cells, the smallest units of life, from the perspectives of physics and information engineering, and to apply that understanding to engineering and medicine. The lab develops techniques to distinguish normal cells from abnormal ones based on cell stiffness, and studies cell function and cell signaling using cell sheets and micropatterned cells. Making full use of nanotechnology such as atomic force microscopy, optical measurement, and microfabrication, the lab studies everything from single cells to tissues. Because this is a new field at the boundary between cell biology and information engineering, students can pursue research with flexible ideas.

The Magnetic Resonance Engineering Lab develops new electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging methods for applications in biomedicine. The lab applies the physics of electron spins and nuclear spins, engineering methods, and electronics technology to problems in biomedicine. Its goal is to build new technologies for the life sciences and medicine. Research is progressing on imaging methods that visualize oxygen partial pressure and pH in tumor tissue, and on metabolic imaging using hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance imaging.

The Neural Control Engineering Lab is developing technology that aims to understand how the brain works and, by sending lost brain information from electronic devices, to supplement the brain's original function. The lab also works on neurostimulation devices used to treat brain disorders, as well as effective ways of using them. Its research rests on three pillars: recording activity from the level of cells to the whole brain, building microdevices through microfabrication, and making devices that compensate for hearing. In the future, the lab aims to bring technological innovation to fields such as restoring sound information processing function for medicine and welfare, and treating brain disorders.

The Human Information Engineering Lab researches and develops engineering technologies aimed at contributing to medicine. The lab works on applied technologies using light and ultrasound that help advance diagnosis and treatment. The Photonics group develops diagnostic technologies using light, while the Ultrasound group develops diagnostic technologies using ultrasound and cell-level treatment technologies using microbubbles. Staff with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, optics, spectroscopy, and electronics, information, and communication engineering work together to advance research and education in an interdisciplinary way.

The Nanomaterials Optical Measurement Lab (Uji-i Lab) develops new measurement methods using next-generation optical nanomaterials. Its main research includes synthesizing nanomaterials with optical functions, controlling chemical reactions using strong coupling, drug transport systems (drug delivery systems), and developing Raman measurement methods for probing the inside of a single cell. The lab explores applications of "surface plasmons," in which light and electrons oscillate together on the surface of metal nanostructures, from the standpoints of photochemistry and photophysics.

The Coherent Light Lab (Nishino Lab) uses coherent X-rays, such as X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) and advanced storage-ring synchrotron radiation, to develop new imaging techniques and pursue applied research. Using large facilities such as SACLA, SPring-8, and NanoTerasu, the lab aims to contribute to progress in a wide range of fields, from life science and materials science to industrial applications. Its research includes coherent diffraction imaging, X-ray Fourier ptychography, and atomic-resolution X-ray holography.

The Photonic Information and Life Science Lab (Mikami Lab) makes full use of optical and information technologies to create life science tools that overturn conventional wisdom. Alongside opening up new science, the lab aims to give its research back to society by putting the technologies it develops to practical use. With its strength in understanding light thoroughly and controlling it freely, the lab develops measurement technologies that extract the information needed from living systems, as well as data processing and analysis technologies, and actively incorporates AI. The lab actively collaborates not only within the lab but also with external collaborators.

The Media Dynamics Lab analyzes data from diverse perspectives and continues to create "knowledge," the source of innovation for solving social problems. Beyond proposing original new technologies, the lab aims for their real-world deployment, working to build a new society where AI and humans collaborate. In addition to general images, music, and video, its research targets a wide range of data, including medical images and social infrastructure data. The lab incorporates problem-based learning into its research and contributes to society by opening the demonstration systems it builds to the general public.

The Information Media Environment Lab works on a variety of topics in computer graphics (CG). Its core interests are efficient rendering, fluid simulation, sound simulation, image-based methods, controllable graphics, haptics, and digital fabrication. The lab researches and develops mechanisms that let users freely manipulate information in 3D space and easily create CG video. With faculty members who specialize in human visual perception, the lab conducts research that uses CG to understand human information processing, as well as research on CG that exploits human visual perception.

The Language Media Lab is an AI lab aiming for natural and safe language processing. It seeks to reshape how machines understand and use natural language, from both creative and practical sides. Going beyond classical natural language processing, the lab combines insights from various fields with both the latest and past results in AI. In a multicultural group that spans disciplines, students can choose their own research topics, with bilingual supervision and support for studying abroad.
