The Comparative Cognition Lab studies animal cognition, focusing mainly on pigeons, hill mynas, cats, and humans. For its cat experiments, the lab is looking for cats to take part as 'Kitty Researchers.' Admission information for the undergraduate program is provided by the Faculty of Letters, and for the graduate programs by the pages of the Graduate School of Humanities and Studies on Public Affairs and the Graduate School of Information and Data Science.

The Medical Administration Lab studies administrative issues related to the evaluation of drugs from the standpoint of regulatory science. It was established as a cooperative graduate program between the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) and Chiba University. Its main research topics are efficient drug development for approval review, and the effects of "ethnic differences," in which the optimal dosage and other aspects of a drug differ between populations. Another aim is to train people who can think for themselves, and make evidence-based proposals, on how drugs should be developed and reviewed for approval.

Molecular Tumor Biology is an affiliated graduate school program of the Graduate School of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University, based at the Chiba Cancer Center Research Institute. The lab studies, at the molecular level, how cancer arises and what characterizes cancer cells and the cells surrounding them. It aims to link these results to translational research and the development of new treatments. Research takes place not on a Chiba University campus but at the Chiba Cancer Center Research Institute (Chuo Ward, Chiba City), which is attached to a specialized cancer hospital.

Heavy Ion Radiotherapy is a collaborative department of the Graduate School of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Chiba University, established in partnership with QST Hospital of the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST). Its listed research topics include the mechanisms by which carbon-ion beams act on living tissue, improving treatment techniques, expanding the range of indications, and improving treatment efficacy. Developing combination therapies with molecular targeted drugs and immunotherapy, and treating and protecting against damage to normal tissue caused by carbon-ion beams, are also research topics. Research on assessing and predicting the effects of carbon-ion therapy using PET (positron CT) and MRI is also listed.

The Endowed Department of Innovative Medicine in Musculoskeletal Science studies new ways to diagnose and treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system, the structures that let the body move, such as the bones, joints, and spine. The lab is an endowed department established in October 2019 within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Chiba University. Going beyond orthopaedic surgery, the lab collaborates with fields such as radiology, biomechanics, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Its mission is to create medical care aimed at restoring function and preventing musculoskeletal diseases, and to train the next generation of professionals.

The Infection Response Project studies the mechanisms of innate immunity against viral and fungal infections. Cells in the body detect pathogens with infection-sensor molecules and quickly mount an immune response. The lab focuses on RLR (RIG-I-like receptor), a viral sensor it identified, and studies how it functions and how its signals are transmitted. The lab aims to obtain findings that could lead to new antiviral therapies in the future.

The Cytokine Project studies the roles cytokines play in the mechanisms by which infectious and inflammatory diseases arise. The body maintains a stable state (homeostasis) through the interaction of many cells and tissues. Many diseases arise not from a single organ but from abnormalities in multiple systems, such as the immune system, so understanding the cytokines that link them is important. The lab's ultimate goal is to find molecules that could become targets for new drugs.

The Candida Phenome Project Lab uses the pathogenic fungus Candida glabrata to study how infection occurs and to search for new drug targets. Candida glabrata is the pathogenic fungus most often found in patients after Candida albicans. Because it has few genes and its genome information is well established, it is the pathogenic fungus whose genes are easiest to study, and the lab uses it as a model organism. The lab has built a library of recombinant strains covering every gene and shares it with researchers in Japan and abroad.

The Clinical Infectious Diseases Project Lab deals with fungal diseases, including aspergillosis, through both clinical care and research. It studies them from many angles, including how infection occurs, the development of diagnostic and treatment methods, and epidemiology. The lab researches problems that emerge in clinical practice, with the aim of bringing the results back to the bedside. It also runs a "Mycosis Reference Center," which handles consultations and testing for fungal diseases from medical institutions across Japan.

The Infectious Disease Control Project Lab studies infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It investigates the ability of these bacteria to cause disease (virulence) and continues epidemiological surveys of where and how much infection is occurring. It also conducts clinical research to develop diagnostic and treatment methods for hard-to-treat respiratory infections. The lab also provides clinical care in the University Hospital's departments of pediatrics and infectious diseases and its infection control division, and responds to consultations from inside and outside the university.
