The Nursing Management Lab is in the Nursing Program of the Department of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Osaka University, and in the graduate school it belongs to the Department of Comprehensive Health Promotion Science. The lab's introduction page is published together with the Comprehensive Nursing Science Lab of the same department, under the name "Comprehensive Nursing Science / Fundamental Nursing Lab." The page says the lab aims at interdisciplinary, highly creative research that links the many kinds of experience, knowledge, people, and resources connected to health and nursing, and studies nursing comprehensively as a science. Research on nursing skills, nursing management, patient safety, and related topics is published on separate pages linked from the lab's introduction page.

The Public Health Nursing Lab studies the activities of public health nurses and the skills that support them. The lab describes public health nurses as front runners in public health nursing, working on responses to disasters and infectious diseases, prevention of bullying and abuse, and improvement of lifestyle habits. The lab states its aim of linking practice and theory to train people with practical ability, research ability, and leadership. Its research themes include support for mental health and maternal and child health, understanding the actual state of health activities, and evaluating learning programs for public health nurses.

The Health Promotion Systems Science Lab studies the health of older adults, home medical care, and related topics, with the motto of practicing health promotion science that extends healthy life expectancy. Its main research topics are the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, home medical care, long-term care prevention, social capital, and a healthy longevity study in Nose Town. The lab advances community-based health promotion research through epidemiological studies that follow older adults over long periods and through joint research with local governments and companies. The lab values research results that contribute to the happiness of people and society, and it guides students so that they can conduct research with that awareness.

The Community Healthcare Systems Science Lab conducts research with the aim of contributing to the building of systems related to community healthcare. Valuing the questions of each member, the lab studies improving the quality of life of patients and families during care at home, developing the skills of professionals in home healthcare and public health, and building disaster support systems. The professor's research fields include supporting home-based care for people with intractable diseases such as ALS and for children and adults requiring medical care, building an inclusive society centered on temples, and promoting health through community–workplace collaboration. The lab's theme is "Living Together (Tomoiki): An Approach to the SDGs in Home Care."

The Medical Physics Lab carries out research and development in medical physics aimed at delivering radiation therapy for cancer with high precision. It focuses on research into particle beam therapy using proton beams, carbon ion beams (heavy ion beams), and neutron beams, and on developing systems for it. In collaboration with the Radiation Therapy Biology Lab and the Department of Radiation Oncology, the lab conducts joint research with particle beam therapy facilities and with companies that develop equipment and AI software. Aiming to train medical physicists who can work in clinical settings, universities, and research institutes, the lab attracts students from various backgrounds, including medical technology and science and engineering.

The Medical Optics Lab researches diagnostic technologies that use laser light and are gentle on the body. Its central technology is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), an optical imaging technique that can capture cross-sectional images 1–2 mm beneath the epidermis of living tissue. Using OCT to examine the structure and function of living tissue, the lab aims to propose and develop new optical diagnostic methods that can be used in clinical settings. The lab also carries out preclinical research using a high-field 7T MRI system.

The Image Science and Technology Lab researches technologies that use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze medical images such as chest X-ray images. Its work includes techniques that emphasize tumors and bones from two images taken under different imaging conditions, and methods aimed at early detection of interstitial pneumonia and detection of new pathological conditions of osteoporosis from chest X-rays. The research uses information such as X-ray images of patients taken at facilities including Osaka University Hospital and Kitasato University Hospital.

The Biological Function Imaging Lab studies how the brain works using imaging, a method that makes neural activity visible. The brain is an information-processing device in which countless neurons are connected by synapses, and understanding how it works requires obtaining information from multiple cells at the same time. The lab therefore measures the activity of many cells using methods such as optical imaging with microscopes, and focuses in particular on research into the basal ganglia. For graduate school, students can join this lab through the entrance exam of either the Division of Health Sciences in the Graduate School of Medicine or the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences.

The Pathological Ultrasound Medicine Lab aims to develop non-invasive tests (NITs) for digestive diseases using ultrasound. The lab combines ultrasound with blood biomarkers to create more accurate diagnostic methods. Clinical and basic research go hand in hand, with studies using animal models and human clinical data. The lab welcomes students who work as radiologic technologists, who aim to join medical companies, or who want to become researchers or university faculty.
