The Creative Physical Therapy lab conducts research on developing advanced assessment and treatment methods that lead to health promotion, prevention of worsening and recurrence, and rehabilitation. It aims to contribute to the creation of new physical therapy in the areas of frail older adults, neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic conditions, cancer, and sports. A research exchange meeting between the health sciences departments of Nagoya University and Yonsei University in Korea is held every year, where graduate students take part and present their research results in English. The lab also promotes interdisciplinary research on digital health, robotics, and regenerative medicine.

The Occupational Therapy Science Unit aims to train researchers and advanced professionals who can contribute internationally to the development of science, technology, and R&D in rehabilitation and occupational therapy. To meet the special needs that arise from disability, it advances basic research, clinical research, and creative development, drawing on the interdisciplinary perspective of health sciences. In the master's program, students study highly specialized occupational therapy from the broad perspective of health sciences, and also acquire the research skills needed to advance EBM (evidence-based medicine). The doctoral program aims to train international researchers who can disseminate and further develop their research results.

The Medical Imaging Engineering Lab focuses on research into the diagnosis of lung diseases using chest CT images. Research topics include CT diagnosis of lung cancer, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) on chest CT, CT diagnosis of interstitial pneumonia, and I-131 radionuclide therapy for thyroid cancer. In graduate school, the lab belongs to Biomedical Imaging Information Science in the Department of Integrated Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medicine.

The Medical Image Analysis Lab studies the analysis of medical images obtained from X-ray examinations such as CT, and the evaluation of radiation exposure of patients undergoing these examinations. Professor Kuniharu Imai's research keywords are mathematical analysis of medical images, dielectric engineering, and the physical properties of contrast agents. Associate Professor Chiyo Kawaura investigates the radiation exposure that infant, child, and adult patients receive from X-ray examinations. In graduate school, the lab belongs to Biomedical Imaging Information Science in the Department of Integrated Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medicine.

Ryuichi Nishii, Professor

The Medical Functional Imaging Evaluation Lab (Nishii Lab and Hirano Lab) centers on nuclear medicine, and its research spans the development of radiopharmaceuticals, the acquisition and analysis of images, and the elucidation of the effects of radiation. Nuclear medicine is a medical field that uses radioactive isotopes to visualize functions and metabolism in the body for diagnosis and treatment. Through the development of radiopharmaceuticals that target specific molecules and disease conditions, and of high-performance cameras, the lab conducts research that contributes to both diagnosis and treatment. As the concept of "theranostics," which integrates diagnosis and treatment, becomes more widespread, the lab also works on AI-based image analysis and on elucidating how radiation affects cells.

The Biological Function Science Lab is part of the Department of Integrated Health Sciences at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, and was established with the 2020 academic year reorganization. The clinical group conducts prospective cohort studies of sarcopenia in cancer patients, as well as clinical research on motor function and gait analysis in children and older adults. The basic research group conducts basic research on the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy caused by various factors, including cancer cachexia, and on the mechanisms of muscle regeneration after muscle injury. In addition to collaborations between the two groups, the lab also conducts research in cooperation with labs in rehabilitation and information science (the information on the lab's website dates from around 2020).

Tsutomu Kawabe, Professor

The Host Defense Information Science Lab studies the immune mechanisms that protect the body and the cell-protective effects of flavonoids, which are natural compounds. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kawabe Lab." Associate Professor Matsushima studied the mechanisms by which flavonoids protect cells. Professor Kawabe is working to elucidate how flavonoids enhance innate immunity and help prevent pneumonia. Professor Kawabe also studied the relationship between the immune response and the function of macrophages in engulfing and processing dead cells. Professor Sato is working on research into genes that could serve as new therapeutic targets for lung cancer.

Fumihiko Fumihiko, Professor

The Cellular Genetics and Information Science Lab studies, at the molecular level, how hematologic malignancies such as acute leukemia arise. Focusing mainly on acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the lab searches for genetic abnormalities in patient samples collected through nationwide collaborative studies. The lab investigates why the genetic abnormalities it finds cause leukemia, using experiments such as introducing genes into cells. The lab also searches among existing drugs for ones with antitumor activity that have been overlooked until now.

The Ikeda Lab conducts AI-based research on cytology, a clinical test that is widely performed. The lab trains deep learning models on cultured cells and attempts to detect and recognize them. In addition to AI research, the lab also studies cell morphology and develops new immunocytochemical methods. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Ikeda Lab."
