The Molecular Pathogenic Bacteriology (Bacteriology) Lab studies the virulence factors and drug resistance mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria that cause problems in healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections. Its subjects include Staphylococcus species including MRSA, Streptococcus species, Enterobacteriaceae species such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and glucose non-fermenting bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition to basic bacteriological analysis, the lab also makes use of genetic analysis and proteome analysis. The lab aims to produce results that contribute to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of bacterial infections.

The Molecular and Cellular Immunology Lab studies the immune system and the diseases caused by its abnormalities, ranging from basic research to translational research. The immune system not only eliminates non-self substances such as microorganisms, but also helps maintain the state of the body and is involved in the establishment of pregnancy. In cancer, the immune system eliminates abnormal cells (immune surveillance), while cancer cells escape from the immune system (immune escape) and the disease progresses. The lab aims to connect its research to an understanding of the path from immune surveillance to immune escape, one of the most important issues in immunology.

The Virology Lab studies viruses that cause disease in humans, such as herpesviruses and influenza virus. The lab works to clarify how viruses cause disease and to develop methods for diagnosing, controlling, and treating viral diseases. Viruses cause severe infectious diseases and can also cause cancers such as liver cancer and malignant lymphoma. The lab is part of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology in the Graduate School of Medicine.

The Forensic Medicine and Bioethics Lab works on forensic medicine, which studies medical matters that raise legal issues. The lab performs expert forensic examinations in actual criminal cases and addresses the research questions that emerge through this casework. Currently, it focuses on forensic toxicology research using mass spectrometers and on studies of toxicity mechanisms using omics. The lab is open not only to students from medical backgrounds but also to students from other faculties who are interested in forensic practice and research.

The lab studies how the environment affects health and develops methods of prevention. Centered on molecular biology, the lab carries out "molecular toxicology research" that analyzes the mechanisms by which the environment induces disease. In addition to experimental medicine research using animals and cells, the lab also conducts fieldwork research, including epidemiology, so students can do research that fits their own aptitudes. For those considering graduate school, the lab accepts inquiries at any time so that they can see the research firsthand and try part of it before deciding on a field of specialization.

The lab investigates the causes of cancer and other diseases, centered on large-scale cohort studies. It is an education and research group that carries on the Department of Preventive Medicine established in 1941, and its research themes have shifted from infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and diphtheria to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and intractable diseases. The lab serves as the central office of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study (J-MICC Study), which began in 2005.

The lab focuses on research on the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Graduate students and students assigned through the Basic Medical Science Seminar work with faculty on epidemiological research that investigates the factors behind the onset of lifestyle-related diseases. In the field of global health, the lab also conducts surveys and research focusing on the health challenges of low- and middle-income countries. The skills students gain through research include the basics of epidemiology and biostatistics, the ability to use statistical software, and the ability to critically read epidemiological and clinical research.

The Healthcare Administration Lab at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine is responsible for education in healthcare administration. The lab's website introduces the Young Leaders Program, a special master's program, and the Program for Training Core National Human Resources from Asian Countries, a doctoral program.

The Molecular Oncology Lab aims to clarify the operating principles of the genome and RNA and, based on that understanding, to elucidate the mechanisms of cancer and discover new therapies. The lab explores mechanisms of gene regulation and disease by integratively analyzing large-scale data made possible by advances in technologies such as next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and genome editing. In April 2026, the lab moved to the Institute of Medical Science, the University of Tokyo (Division of Biochemistry and Integrative Cancer Research). On the lab's website, it is presented under the name “Suzuki Lab.”

The Tumor Biology (Molecular Pathology) Lab studies abnormalities in epigenetics, the mechanism that determines how genes are used, with a particular focus on cancer. Within the epigenome, the lab focuses on long non-coding RNAs, which are not translated into proteins, conducting basic research while aiming to apply the findings to diagnosis and treatment. The lab aims to detect cancer-specific epigenomic abnormalities early and reliably for use in diagnosis, and is developing new treatment strategies that suppress cancer with epigenome-targeting drugs. Since 2024, the lab has been conducting an investigator-initiated clinical trial for glioblastoma of a therapeutic drug targeting TUG1, a long non-coding RNA essential for cancer growth.
