The Environmental Health Lab studies how living environments and environmental chemicals affect human health. Focusing especially on children, who are more susceptible to environmental effects, the lab conducts cohort studies that follow the health of parents and children over the long term, starting during pregnancy. Based on the DOHaD theory, which holds that the environment during the fetal period and soon after birth affects disease in adulthood, the lab considers environment and health across the whole life course.

The Nutrition and Metabolic Medicine Lab studies how diet affects human health, with nutrition and metabolism as keywords. Using birth cohort studies that begin with mothers during pregnancy, the lab examines the relationship among nutrition, the gut environment, and health from the fetal period. In collaboration with Chiba University Hospital, it also conducts research in clinical nutrition, which supports treatment from the nutritional side.

The Healthy City and Spatial Design Lab studies how spaces such as cities and buildings relate to people's health, behavior, and well-being. Rather than attributing health problems solely to individual lifestyle habits, the lab looks at them from the side of the environment, including housing, urban structure, and connections with society. The lab moves back and forth between two kinds of work: research that uses epidemiological methods to clarify the relationship between environment and health, and design that applies those findings to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of real spaces.

The Social Preventive Medicine Lab studies how the structures of society, such as income and community ties, affect people's health. The lab investigates the social determinants of health and health disparities using large-scale data, including the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES), in which municipalities across Japan participate. The lab also works on social implementation, applying the evidence from its research to municipal policy and corporate health programs. The lab holds lab research meetings and graduate lab seminars on a regular basis, and people visiting the lab can attend if they sign up in advance.

The Disease Preventive Medicine Lab studies obesity and its complications from two sides: causes inside the body, and social causes and problems. It is a new lab established in January 2025. Obesity is often thought to result from overeating and lack of exercise, but constitution and the environment from early childhood are also thought to influence a person's tendency to gain weight and their appetite. The lab seeks to do away with the idea that reaching a standard body weight is what makes a person healthy, and explores realistic weight-loss approaches for treating complications.

The Healthy Living Environment Creation Lab studies how the various environments of the homes and towns where people live affect their health. Based on the idea of "environmental-improvement preventive medicine," in which improving the environment changes people's behavior and prevents disease, the lab aims to create environments that make people healthier just by living in them. The lab gathers evidence through epidemiological surveys and live-in experimental houses, and aims for social implementation, putting its research results to use in homes and towns. Researchers from many fields, including medicine, engineering, UX design, and science, take part.
