The Biomolecular Information Science Lab conducts research on extracting and measuring trace components from biological samples such as urine and blood. The lab applies this analytical technology to environmental epidemiology and develops methods to determine "exposure levels" to chemical substances. The lab develops methods for the targeted, highly sensitive measurement of small molecules in biological samples, and applies them to clinical specimens and epidemiological surveys to clarify disease mechanisms and assess exposure to chemical substances. The separation analysis performed in the lab is also used in clinical laboratory education at the undergraduate level.

The Real-World Information, Health and Medicine Lab uses large-scale medical and health data, such as genome information, insurance claims, and electronic medical records, to search for risk factors that lead to disease onset and progression to severe illness. By combining data science, biostatistics, and epidemiology, the lab is also developing algorithms that predict onset and progression to severe illness. Based on these results, the lab aims to advance medicine and health sciences by proposing optimal prevention and intervention measures. Through its research, the lab also works to train data scientists in medicine and health who can handle big data.

The Life and Human Information, Health and Medicine Lab combines computational biology and digital health technologies to pioneer data-driven health science. In the human body, molecular activity (micro) and body movement (macro) influence each other. The lab aims to use AI to integrate data from both layers and build precise digital twins for medicine. In computational biology, it uses omics analysis covering genomes, proteins, glycans, and more. In digital health, it uses sensing with 3D cameras and wearable devices. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Matsui Lab."

The Advanced Measurement Information, Health and Medicine Lab studies brain imaging data, with the human brain as its main research subject. Because the brain is extremely complex, the causes of neurological and psychiatric diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and depression are still largely unknown. Using large volumes of brain imaging data from the Brain & Mind Research Center at Nagoya University, the lab tries to capture the structure and function of the brain and the changes that accompany disease. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "TBIS (Translational Biomedical Intelligent Systems)."

The Center for Brain and Mind Research pursues broad interdisciplinary research, including elucidating the pathology and treatment of brain and mind disorders, brain development and aging, and the role of brain function in education. Training the next generation of researchers and healthcare professionals is also one of its goals. Built on large-scale cohorts of development, disease, and aging, the center is forming a regionally connected research consortium that collaborates with departments of the Graduate School of Medicine, other graduate schools and institutes, and outside hospitals, universities, and companies. The content of this page is based on the website of the center as a whole.

The Computational Biology Lab, part of the mathematical analysis division of the Institute for Glyco-core Research, studies methods for mathematically analyzing large-scale data in life science. Advances in next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, imaging, and sensing technologies are producing large amounts of diverse data. Associate Professor Matsui's mission is to use such data to develop methods for revealing the mechanisms of previously unknown living systems. The Institute for Glyco-core Research is an international institute that aims to understand the essence (core) of life by studying glycans, and brings together researchers from Gifu University and Nagoya University.

The lab studies how carbon and nitrogen move in environments centered on soil. Much of the carbon and nitrogen in soil exists as humic substances, which are dark-colored macromolecular substances. Soil is the largest carbon reservoir on land, and it is linked both to curbing global warming and to maintaining the soil fertility that produces food.

The Plant-Soil System Lab studies how plants, soil, and soil organisms influence one another in planted forests. It asks questions such as whether soil properties change plant traits, and whether plant traits change soil properties. Another aim of this research is to draw out what people should be careful about, and what they can devise, so that forests can be used sustainably. Study sites include inland forests as well as coastal forests, with tsunamis in mind.

The Forest Hydrology and Erosion Control Lab explores the dynamics of the water cycle in forests and other types of land, as well as local communities and their vulnerability to disasters. It aims to understand and clarify the actual relationship between people and nature, and to make proposals on how that relationship should be, from global to local perspectives. Focusing on mountainous upper watersheds, the lab studies how water and sediment move within watersheds, through field surveys and modeling using GIS and other tools. Every Tuesday, the lab holds a seminar, both in person and online, with progress reports on undergraduate, master's, and doctoral theses and presentations of papers. Drop-in participants are also welcome.

The Forest Ecology Lab studies forest trees for the conservation of forests and of biodiversity. Its research covers the structure, dynamics, and function of communities of trees, as well as the genetic diversity, reproductive ecology, ecophysiology, and biomass production of each tree species. Spanning the broad research areas of ecology, population genetics, and ecophysiology, the lab investigates at various levels, from genes to individuals, populations, and communities and ecosystems.
