The Anatomy Lab studies the structure of animal bodies and its abnormalities. The lab examines the form of organs using a range of methods, from light and electron microscopy to spatial transcriptomics. Focusing mainly on animal anatomy, the urinary system, and immunity, the lab explores problems that threaten the health of animals and humans, and their solutions. The lab encourages students to take an active part in education, diagnosis, and clinical work in addition to research.

The Physiology Lab studies the bodily functions that living organisms have for staying alive. The lab aims to clarify these functions at the molecular level. It values keeping a broad perspective that spans molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and whole organisms, from the smallest to the largest scale. The lab recruits graduate students and collaborators on a rolling basis.

The Biochemistry Lab studies how animals adapt to harsh environments such as cold and food scarcity. The lab investigates how the body's metabolism changes during hibernation and similar states, focusing in particular on the role of adipose tissue. Its goal is to understand the mechanisms of feeding behavior, body temperature maintenance, and energy metabolism. It aims to apply animals' ingenious survival strategies to the prevention and improvement of obesity, diabetes, and related conditions.

The Pharmacology Lab studies how drugs and chemical substances act on the body. Using drug effects as a clue, the lab investigates the functions of excitable cells such as nerve and muscle cells. Recently, the lab has focused on glial cells in the brain, examining the transmitters they release and the mechanisms inside these cells. The lab is recruiting graduate students and also accepts collaborative research.

The Radiation Biology Lab studies how radiation affects the bodies of living organisms, from the perspectives of both veterinary medicine and medicine. Experiments use cultured cells and laboratory animals such as mice and rats. The lab investigates how cancer cells respond to radiation, the environment surrounding tumors, and treatments that combine radiation with drugs. Interested students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Hokkaido University and from the Joint Department of Veterinary Medicine with Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine are welcome.

The Laboratory Animal Science Lab uses laboratory animals such as mice and rats to study the mechanisms of diseases, including genetic disorders and infectious diseases. The lab also takes on the challenge of developing new disease models using new animal species such as cotton rats and genetically modified animals. From a veterinary medicine standpoint, the lab also works on the health and welfare of laboratory animals. The lab also carries out activities that contribute to training board-certified specialists in laboratory animal medicine.

The Toxicology Lab studies how chemicals affect animals and humans. The lab investigates how the mechanisms that protect living organisms from harmful substances differ among animal species, and how they have evolved. In collaboration with research institutions in African countries, the lab also investigates how environmental pollution associated with rapid development affects wildlife, livestock, and humans. The lab is recruiting graduate students and seeking collaborations for joint research.

The Wildlife Science Lab is the first lab at a national or public veterinary university in Japan to specialize in wildlife. With the goal of conserving biodiversity, the lab conducts research and education that contribute to the protection and management of wildlife. From the perspectives of both conservation biology and wildlife medicine, the lab studies the physiology and ecology of large mammals such as bears, deer, and marine mammals. The lab also studies infectious diseases involving wildlife and problems caused by invasive alien species.

The Veterinary Internal Medicine Lab treats sick animals brought to the Hokkaido University Veterinary Teaching Hospital while also researching their diseases. Its motto is to find research themes in daily clinical practice and return the results to clinical care. Under the shared goals of improving diagnostic accuracy, elucidating disease mechanisms, and developing novel treatments, the lab works on diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, and endoscopy, as well as analysis of how diseases develop. After being assigned to the lab, undergraduate students also take part in internal medicine clinical work under the supervision of veterinarians and carry out their graduation research alongside clinical practice.

The Veterinary Surgery Lab teaches and conducts research in veterinary surgery, and is in charge of the surgery service at the Hokkaido University Animal Medical Center. Outpatient clinics are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are surgery days. The lab holds a weekly clinical and research lab seminar and a monthly case conference. Students in the lab take classes while assisting with clinical care as clinical training, and they also carry out research in veterinary surgery. The lab also actively engages in collaborative research.
