The Bacterial Pathogen Control Lab aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial infection occurs. Focusing on toxins, a representative product of bacteria, the lab investigates a broad range of questions, from the changes in the cells that toxins attack to the disease state of the infected individual. The lab also works to elucidate how the body defends itself against bacteria, with the goal of applying this knowledge to the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. The lab conducts joint research with universities and research institutions in Japan and abroad, pharmaceutical-related companies, and clinical physicians.

The Infectious Disease Pathogenesis Lab clarifies how infectious diseases arise, become severe, and spread, based on the interactions between pathogens and hosts. Established in April 2025, the lab mainly targets acute respiratory infections and zoonotic diseases. The lab conducts analyses spanning pathology, immunology, virology, epidemiology, and information science, with the aim of leading to the development of vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments. The lab collaborates with the Department of Infectious Disease Pathology at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan Institute for Health Security, and with Chiba University's research center for mucosal vaccines.

The Infection and Host Defense Lab conducts research centered on parasitology. Its research targets malaria parasites, Cryptosporidium, Toxoplasma, Trichomonas vaginalis, and the liver fluke Fasciola. In addition to basic research, the lab performs parasite diagnostic work, valuing the interest and questions that arise from each individual case. The lab strives to give medical students and graduate students lectures that spark an interest in parasitology, and frequently coaches student presentations at the Japanese Society for Parasitology.

The lab covers the study of holistic, integrated care for women throughout their lives, from the fetus to old age. Beyond childbirth and cancer, the lab aims to free all women from health problems specific to women. As the "last bastion" of Chiba Prefecture, the lab provides advanced and emergency care while pursuing basic and clinical research to develop new medical treatments. For training, the lab works with hospitals mainly in Chiba Prefecture, with Chiba University Hospital at the center, and trains specialists under a unified program.

The lab handles clinical care and research for urological diseases such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and urinary stones. Aiming for treatments that place less burden on the body, the lab actively performs laparoscopic surgery. In addition to general care, the lab provides advanced medical care, such as prostate biopsy that overlays MRI and ultrasound images, and diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. For people considering joining the lab or training there, the lab continues to publish its "Urology Newsletter" (Hinyokika Tsushin), which conveys what the lab is like.

The lab investigates the molecular mechanisms of cancer, immunity, endocrine and metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Aiming to bridge basic and clinical research, the lab pursues translational research that leads to practical applications. Using technologies such as ES and iPS cells, CRISPR/Cas9, next-generation sequencing, single-cell analysis, and proteomics, the lab conducts comprehensive research from cells to animal models. It is a hybrid lab where basic researchers come together with specialists who treat patients in endocrinology and metabolism, cardiology, and surgery.

The Dermatology Lab conducts research to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of cancer immunotherapy. Focusing on melanoma, which responds best to immune checkpoint inhibitors and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy, the lab examines in detail what happens in the bodies and tumors of patients who have received these treatments. In its research, the lab has long focused on inflammation, immunity, and allergy, and has put effort into training young researchers while collaborating with other departments and institutions. The lab currently also conducts clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers such as melanoma, with an eye toward new forms of care, including telemedicine.

The Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine Lab studies a wide range of problems related to emergency and intensive care, aiming to apply the results in clinical practice. At Chiba University Hospital, the emergency and intensive care departments handle patients continuously, from prehospital emergency care and initial treatment in the emergency department to treatment in the intensive care unit. The main research themes are genetic polymorphisms and functional analysis in sepsis, increased vascular permeability, and the development of artificial supportive therapies. The lab also develops ICT systems and biometric devices to address challenges in emergency and disaster medicine, as well as AI-based prediction algorithms and diagnostic imaging support tools.

Pediatric Surgery is a lab that treats congenital anomalies, tumors, and functional disorders in children from newborns to age 15. It covers organs of the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis, an area that requires knowledge and skills specific to children. Research centers on the themes held since the lab's founding: surgical metabolism and nutrition, pediatric malignant solid tumors, biliary atresia, and the development and function of the gastrointestinal tract. Taking advantage of being a general hospital, the lab works with the departments of pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and adult specialties to build a system that provides continuous care from fetus to adulthood.

The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Lab deals with abnormalities and congenital conditions of the craniomaxillofacial bones, lymphedema, breast reconstruction, and more. In its research, the lab is conducting clinical studies of distraction osteogenesis for congenital hypoplasia of the craniomaxillofacial bones, jointly with the Department of Anesthesiology. In its basic research, the lab studies facial anatomy, flap anatomy, the anatomy of lymphatic and blood vessels, and osteotomies of the craniofacial bones, using unfixed cadavers. The lab studies a wide range of topics, from elucidating the physiological properties of adipocytes to the engraftment mechanisms of fat grafting and gene therapy.
