The Molecular Host Defense Lab studies, at the molecular level, the mechanisms of host defense against infection and cancer. Focusing on pathogen recognition receptors, which rapidly detect pathogens that enter the body, the lab searches for new receptors. By analyzing the signaling pathways that act downstream, it aims to elucidate the molecular pathology of intractable diseases such as infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. The lab welcomes students and researchers from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their faculty, whether Science, Medicine, or others.

The Developmental Physiology Lab studies the mechanisms of pattern formation, by which cells and tissues acquire specific shapes and functions. It focuses on the role that mechanical stimuli from force, long a mystery, play in this process. Using the transparent nematode C. elegans, about 1 mm long, and cultured mammalian cells, the lab observes living cells as they proliferate and form tissue. By combining cutting-edge microscopy with its own original optical technology, the lab is opening up a new research field that merges life science and physics.

The Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery Lab designs and discovers new chemical reactions by integrating computational science, information science, and experimental science. Reaction development still relies on trial and error in experiments, and it can take decades to find a single groundbreaking reaction. At ICReDD (Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery), the research center the lab belongs to, reaction pathways are first mapped out by computation, conditions are narrowed down to those worth trying using information science, and then they are verified by experiment. Data obtained from experiments is fed back into computation, and the aim is for the three fields to work as one to refine methods for designing reactions.

The Interfacial Energy Conversion Materials Chemistry Lab studies chemical reactions at the interface between a solid and a solution, where electron transfer plays the leading role. The lab develops methods for assembling atoms, molecules, and nanoclusters into functional material phases. It investigates energy conversion reactions at solid–liquid interfaces from a fundamental level, including electrode reactions in electrocatalysts and secondary batteries, with the aim of helping solve energy problems. The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).

The Superconducting Materials Chemistry Lab searches for new inorganic materials with novel functions, focusing on solid-state oxides and similar compounds. Through advanced materials synthesis, precise structural analysis, and property characterization, the lab varies crystal structures, chemical compositions, and crystal morphologies in many different ways. By enhancing functions such as superconductivity, electronic properties, magnetism, and half-metallicity, and by exploring the underlying scientific principles, the lab aims to open up seeds for innovative new materials. The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).

The Nanoscale Physical Properties Science Lab develops materials with optical and electronic functions, based on nanomaterials, physical properties science, and device science. In addition to sophisticated material design and synthesis, the lab verifies material properties using cutting-edge observation and measurement techniques. The lab's research covers the search for new physical properties and their realization in devices, including applications to medical materials. The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).

The Nano-Organized Materials Chemistry Lab conducts research on creating materials with high chemical functionality, based on materials chemistry. The lab synthesizes materials and examines the structure and properties of the resulting materials in detail. It combines this with atomistic simulation, which allows the relationship between properties and crystal structure to be reasoned about rationally, and focuses mainly on materials used in fuel cells. The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program, and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).
