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.

The Comparative Pathology Lab studies what causes animal diseases and how they develop. The lab diagnoses diseases of various animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, cattle, and horses, by gross and microscopic examination, and applies the results to subsequent treatment and prevention. In addition, the lab conducts experimental pathology research that clarifies the causes and mechanisms of disease through experiments. The name of the lab reflects the belief of Dr. Koichi Ichikawa, who established it, that 'veterinary pathology is a field that also contributes to basic medicine.'

The Theriogenology Lab investigates the causes of infertility and its treatment in cattle, especially dairy cows, in order to improve their productivity. Focusing on the function of the vagina and uterus among the causes of infertility, the lab conducts research using live cows and cultured cells. For the conservation of wildlife, the lab also studies reproductive physiology and assisted reproductive technologies in a variety of animals, building on the knowledge and techniques developed with livestock. Besides research, the lab is in charge of reproductive management of the dairy cows at the affiliated farm (such as artificial insemination and assistance with calving) and provides consultation on the breeding of zoo animals.

The Animal Molecular Medicine Lab studies parasitic diseases, genetic diseases, and blood diseases in dogs and cats. Through both clinical care at the affiliated Animal Medical Center and research in the lab, the lab aims to contribute to veterinary medicine. The lab works on how protozoa that infect canine red blood cells become resistant to drugs, diseases caused by congenital genetic abnormalities, and the treatment of diseases in which the immune system destroys blood cells.

The Advanced Veterinary Medicine Lab is a clinically focused lab made up of faculty who handle clinical care and surgery at the affiliated Animal Medical Center. With the goal of advancing veterinary medicine, the lab engages in daily clinical care, education, and research. Many faculty members affiliated with the hospital supervise research, covering a wide range of small animal clinical topics, including anesthesia and diagnostic imaging in addition to surgery and internal medicine.

The Microbiology Lab conducts research to protect animals and people from the threat of infectious diseases. To clarify how viruses cause disease, the lab examines differences between viruses that cause disease and those that do not, and studies the factors that determine pathogenicity. The lab also investigates host factors involved in disease onset, based on differences in how cells and animals respond to viral infection.

The lab studies how viral and bacterial infectious diseases in animals cause illness, with the aim of bringing them under control. When a pathogen enters the body, animals fight back with their immune systems, but pathogens have many ways to evade immunity or disrupt it. To protect against pathogens, the lab investigates the relationship between pathogens and hosts from both sides: the survival strategies of pathogens and the immune mechanisms of the host.

The lab studies parasites that live on or in animals. In parasitism, where one organism relies on another for shelter and nutrition, a relationship of contest arises between the parasite and its host. By studying this complex and diverse relationship, the lab seeks answers to a central question in veterinary medicine: how best to deal with parasitic infections.

The lab studies viral zoonoses, which are infectious diseases transmitted between animals and humans. Changes to the global environment caused by human economic activity have greatly increased contact between people and wild animals carrying pathogens, as well as the mosquitoes and ticks that transmit them. This is thought to be the cause of outbreaks of these infections. From field surveys in Hokkaido that collect rodents and ticks to cell analysis using electron microscopes, the lab broadly investigates how viruses are transmitted and how disease develops.
