The lab handles diseases of the lungs and breathing through both clinical care and research. Its scope covers a wide range of conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, respiratory infections, lung cancer, acute lung injury, pulmonary hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome, and interstitial lung disease. Because the pathophysiology differs between mild and severe cases even under the same disease name, the lab places more value on understanding the pathophysiology than on assigning a diagnosis name. The lab values a 'research mind' that connects questions arising in clinical practice to research.

The Cardiovascular Medicine Lab addresses heart and blood vessel diseases through both clinical care and research. The clinical research groups are divided into diagnostic imaging (CT, echocardiography, MRI, and others), PET, radioisotope (RI) studies, arrhythmia, and coronary artery disease. Basic research covers heart failure, hypertension, and regenerative therapy for heart muscle and blood vessels, and the lab also conducts translational research aimed at clinical application. Lab members each take charge of their own area of strength in a division-of-labor system, so both clinically oriented and research-oriented people can thrive.

The lab works on surgical methods for treating diseases inside the chest, such as those of the lungs and mediastinum, and on research into them. It began with the first lung cancer surgery at the university in 1952, and was later reorganized from "Thoracic Surgery" into "General Thoracic Surgery." It has expanded minimally invasive treatment such as thoracoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery, and as a certified lung transplant facility it also performs lung transplantation from brain-dead donors. It also provides hands-on education using technologies such as VR and MR and the Chiba University Clinical Anatomy Lab.

The lab works on surgical methods for treating diseases of the heart and great vessels. Its targets are coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, arrhythmia, aortic disease, severe heart failure, congenital heart disease, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. It also handles ventricular assist devices and heart transplantation for severe heart failure, covering a wide range of cardiovascular surgery. It also participates in clinical research, such as a nationwide survey on how drugs are used to suppress acute rejection after transplantation.

The lab works on anesthesia, which manages the patient's whole body before, during, and after surgery, and on the medical care surrounding it. At Chiba University Hospital, the lab provides whole-body management for patients across a wide age range, from newborns to those over 100 years old, including cases with comorbidities. The knowledge and skills in whole-body management and pain relief developed in the operating room extend to pain clinics, palliative care, intensive care, and painless labor (labor analgesia). The lab's stated aim is to train anesthesiologists in the spirit of "One Step Beyond," who keep a spirit of inquiry in clinical practice.

The lab is built on three pillars: basic research in pathology, pathological diagnosis, and student education. In its basic research, the lab investigates how malignant tumors of the digestive organs spread and how tumor cells undergo transdifferentiation. The lab performs pathological diagnosis in the Pathology Division of Chiba University Hospital, and also carries out autopsies in cooperation with the Tumor Pathology Lab and the Diagnostic Pathology Lab. The lab strives to give lectures that make medical students and graduate students interested in pathology, and supervises many students in their presentations at the Japanese Society of Pathology.

The lab conducts clinical and basic research on diseases of the liver, biliary tract, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract. The lab has continued under changing names, including the First Department of Internal Medicine, the Department of Medical Oncology, and the Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology. Under the motto "Taking on unmet medical needs," the lab aims to create new diagnostics and treatments. Clinical care is divided into three groups, covering the liver, the biliary tract and pancreas, and the gastrointestinal tract, and many graduate students are engaged in research.

The Nephrology Lab conducts basic and clinical research centered on elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which chronic kidney disease progresses. A new lab that began in 2017 when its first professor took up the post, it also provides renal replacement therapy through hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis in clinical care. Even though it is an internal medicine department, its own nephrology physicians perform dialysis shunt surgery and shunt angioplasty (PTA). The lab has a system in which physicians can follow the whole course of care, from the pathological diagnosis of kidney biopsies to deciding on a treatment plan and monitoring the treatment course.

The Organ Regulatory Surgery Lab covers surgery of the liver, biliary tract, and pancreas, as well as surgery of the breast and thyroid. Renamed from the former First Department of Surgery, the lab works on research into operations for conditions such as hilar cholangiocarcinoma, which is said to be difficult to resect. The lab's motto, "Lion's heart and hawk's eyes; operate with a woman's hands," means: have the will of a lion and the eyes of a hawk, and operate as delicately and gracefully as a woman's hands. The lab carries out clinical and basic research to improve surgical outcomes and presents its results in Japan and overseas.

The Advanced Applied Surgery Lab covers surgery of the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. At Chiba University Hospital, it practices as “Esophageal and Gastrointestinal Surgery,” diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal diseases, mainly cancer. Endoscopic treatment, laparoscopic surgery, and chemoradiotherapy are combined according to how far the disease has progressed. The lab also conducts clinical research, such as multicenter studies that collect real-world data on cancer care.
