The Bioenvironmental Medicine Lab studies, in a broad way, how the environment affects human health. Its predecessor was the former First Department of Anatomy, and in the School of Medicine the lab teaches gross anatomy and an introduction to embryology. Its research is unusual for an anatomy department, centering on preventive medicine suited to the 21st century. The lab accepts many working-adult graduate students and works with organizations such as the WHO, striving to make sure its research results benefit future generations in society and around the world.

The Public Health Lab studies how to find genes involved in diseases of unknown cause and intractable diseases. By identifying genes involved in onset, exacerbation, and response to treatment, the lab aims to elucidate causes, establish diagnostic methods, and realize precision medicine. The lab targets both multifactorial diseases and monogenic diseases, and several joint projects with clinical departments are underway. The lab also actively analyzes undiagnosed cases in which a hereditary disease was suspected in various clinical departments.

The Environmental and Occupational Health Lab studies how the environment and work affect human health. In environmental health, the lab investigates how heavy metals and other substances affect health, using both experiments and epidemiology. In occupational health and occupational health science, the lab conducts epidemiological research on how work affects health, and also studies the relationship between work and people from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Forensic medicine is the field that medically determines the cause of death of deceased people and the extent of injuries sustained by living people. The Forensic Medicine Education and Research Center, which is run together with the lab, has six core divisions: forensic pathology, forensic toxicology, forensic genetics, forensic odontology, forensic imaging, and clinical forensic medicine. Each division works independently while collaborating with the others in education, research, and practice. The center opened in April 2014. In addition to investigating causes of death, it works on clinical forensic medicine, a field that remains largely undeveloped in Japan.

Japanese Oriental (Kampo) Medicine is a clinical discipline that compensates for the weaknesses of Eastern and Western medicine and makes use of the strengths of each to provide better care. It was proposed by the first professor, Prof. Terasawa, and the lab's roots go back to a prewar student club, the Oriental Medicine Study Group. The lab holds that Western medicine excels at seeing the trees (the disease) while Kampo medicine excels at seeing the forest (the patient), and it aims to achieve both. The work is carried out jointly by the Japanese Oriental (Kampo) Medicine Lab in the Graduate School of Medicine (clinical research division) and the Department of Japanese Oriental (Kampo) Medicine at the University Hospital (clinical practice division).

Medical Education works to improve the quality of medical education and the educational environment at the Chiba University School of Medicine and its University Hospital. It operates as the Medical Education Research Lab, a collaboration of Medical Education in the Graduate School of Medicine, the Center for General Medical Education and Training at the University Hospital, and the Clinical Skills Center. Its role is to support the faculty members who carry out education. From the standpoint of education specialists, it aims to help them with how to teach, assess, and run education. The lab believes that as long as medicine and healthcare advance every day, and patient needs and the society that supports healthcare keep changing, medical education must also keep renewing itself.

Diagnostic Reasoning studies general medicine, which examines undiagnosed symptoms and health problems without limiting the investigation to the organ that causes them. It is run together with the Department of General Medicine at Chiba University Hospital, and first-visit outpatient consultations are in principle conducted as second-opinion outpatient visits. Based on the position that most outpatient diseases can be diagnosed from the medical history, it places particular emphasis on the medical interview. As clinical research, it has also worked on developing a large language model specialized in diagnosing diseases.

Clinical Research and Treatment Evaluation supports clinical trials, including trials for regulatory approval, as the Department of Clinical Trials of Chiba University Hospital. Clinical trials are the final stage of research before drugs and other products can be widely used in society. The lab has organized an academic research organization (ARO) that supports investigator-initiated clinical trials conducted by physicians themselves, and it also supports research at other universities and companies. In 2017, Chiba University Hospital was designated a Core Clinical Research Hospital under the Medical Care Act.

The Medical Informatics Lab works to use the clinical records stored in the hospital to improve the quality of medical care. Day-to-day operations are handled by the University Hospital's Department of Planning and Information, which develops and operates the hospital information system and the electronic medical record system. Established in 1975 as the Department of Medical Informatics, the lab holds hospital data spanning more than 40 years and has been putting it to use. The lab is also taking on hospital management and administration based on the analysis of clinical information, as well as efforts to return medical data to society.
