The lab visualizes the function and structure of central nervous system cells in vivo using two-photon microscopy. It investigates how homeostasis is maintained in the activity of the neural circuits that underlie higher brain functions. It works to clarify new physiological functions of microglia, the immune cells of the central nervous system. The lab's website presents it together with the Division of Multicellular Circuit Dynamics, Basic Neuroscience Research Area, National Institute for Physiological Sciences, National Institutes of Natural Sciences.

The lab studies how neurons respond to damage caused by trauma, disease, aging, and stress. Using mice, it investigates at the molecular level the basic principles of the mechanisms that protect neurons and promote their repair. Noting that nerves are distributed not only in the brain but also in organs throughout the body, the lab also studies how nerves are involved in repair when organs are injured. The lab was established in November 2024.

The Miyata Lab studies “brain development” in the cell biology field of the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine. The lab's homepage features a video introducing the significance and methods of brain development research. The news section lists results on the mechanism by which the embryonic cerebral cortical primordium thickens, and on microglia in the embryonic brain. On the lab's website, it is listed as the “Takaki Miyata Lab.”

The Cell Physiology Lab aims to uncover the core principles of how the brain forms and operates, using auditory neural circuits as its subject. In sound localization, the ability to tell which direction a sound comes from, one cue is the interaural time difference: the tiny difference in the time a sound reaches the left and right ears. The neural circuit that detects this time difference is in the brainstem, and the lab investigates how that circuit is built and how it works. The lab carries out multifaceted analyses using state-of-the-art research methods.

The Integrative Physiology Lab studies the fundamental mechanisms that sustain life, such as body temperature regulation, from the molecular level to the level of the whole organism. Starting from neural circuits in the brain, the lab investigates topics such as thermoregulation, fever caused by infection, responses to psychological stress, and age-related obesity. The lab corresponds to the former Second Department of Physiology and belongs to the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine. Third-year medical students are assigned to the lab through the Basic Medicine Seminar and spend six months working on experiments and research.
Masaki Fukata, Professor

The Fukata Lab, part of the Department of Neural Information Pharmacology, studies the mechanisms that regulate the function of synapses, the basic unit of higher brain function, and how those mechanisms break down in brain diseases. The lab focuses on the regulatory mechanisms of AMPA-type glutamate receptors, which are thought to form the molecular basis of memory and learning. The property by which the efficiency of synaptic transmission changes in response to external stimuli (synaptic plasticity) is thought to be the molecular basis of memory and learning. The lab combines biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, histology, electrophysiology, and mouse genetics in its research.
Midori Shimada, Professor

The Shimada Lab studies everything from how genetic information is inherited and its expression regulated to the search for therapeutic targets in cancer and the development of treatment strategies. Targeting hard-to-treat cancers such as breast and prostate cancer, the lab examines proteins involved in cancer cell proliferation to find therapeutic targets. The lab also studies biological phenomena caused by proline isomerization, the link between abnormal calcium signaling and cancer, and the mechanisms that keep the genome stable. Third-year medical students are assigned to the lab through the Basic Medicine Seminar, and graduate students are recruited on an ongoing basis.
Tetsuya Okajima, Professor

The Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Lab (Department of Biochemistry II) studies molecules involved in the onset and progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and their post-translational modifications. Focusing on the structure and function of receptor proteins on the cell membrane surface, their ligands, and the glycans that modify them, the lab analyzes them using biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology. The lab aims to develop new therapies based on how molecules function and are regulated. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry and Functional Molecule Regulation."

The Pathology and Biological Responses Lab studies broadly and in depth what oxidative stress means for living organisms, from the cellular level to the level of the human individual. While valuing the morphological approach that is characteristic of pathology, the lab carries out its research using methods from genetics, cell engineering, and genetic engineering. Students can gain broad morphological knowledge needed to analyze genetically modified animals, and those with an MD (medical doctor) degree can, if they wish, also receive basic training as a pathologist in parallel. The lab welcomes students with a deep interest in oxidative stress, regardless of their original field.
Atsushi Enomoto, Professor

The Tumor Pathology / Molecular Pathology Lab aims to train board-certified pathologists and to develop pathology research that is as original as possible. Through graduate research, the lab aims to train pathologists who can set their own morphology-based research questions. Centered on functional analysis of molecules and morphology, the lab conducts research with members from diverse backgrounds. The training of board-certified pathologists is supported by the Division of Pathology at Nagoya University Hospital and affiliated hospitals.
