The Radiation Oncology Lab conducts clinical research, medical physics research, and radiation biology research on radiation therapy, which treats cancer with radiation. In addition to brachytherapy, the lab focuses on high-precision radiation therapy such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiotherapy. As a department of a university hospital, the lab provides clinical care and conducts research, and also teaches undergraduate students, graduate students, and residents. In radiation biology, the lab conducts basic research on tumor immunity in radiation therapy and develops new treatments that enhance therapeutic effect.

The Cardiovascular Surgery Lab is one of the clinical departments that make up the surgery labs of Osaka University, and works on the surgical treatment of heart and blood vessel diseases. Since performing Japan's first successful open-heart surgery using a heart-lung machine in 1956, the lab has focused on improving surgical outcomes for valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, aortic disease, and congenital heart disease, and on developing and spreading new treatments. The 'Frontline of Treatment' section of the lab's website introduces large-vessel and minimally invasive catheter treatments that are gentle on the body, artificial hearts and heart transplantation, peripheral vascular treatment, and biodesign. Prof. Miyagawa specializes in valvular heart disease, coronary artery bypass surgery, regenerative therapy and surgical treatment for severe heart failure, and ventricular assist devices.

The lab studies a wide range of topics from basic research to clinical application, centered on lung cancer, thymic tumors, lung transplantation, and regenerative medicine. In recent years, through cancer genome analysis, AI-assisted diagnosis, and biomarker development, the lab has been advancing translational research with next-generation medicine in view. At Osaka University Hospital, thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine, and diagnostic and therapeutic radiology work together under a Respiratory Center system. In thoracic surgery, the lab also actively introduces thoracoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery.

The Gastroenterological Surgery I Lab aims to unravel the mysteries of cancer development and characteristics and to link them to treatment. The lab's website introduces clinical care and research as the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, and its list of members covers the whole department. In clinical care, the department treats cancers of the esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas, and also provides surgical treatment such as liver transplantation, pancreas transplantation, and inflammatory bowel disease.

The Gastroenterological Surgery II Lab belongs to the Department of Surgery at Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, and conducts research and education in surgery that treats diseases of the digestive organs by operation. The lab's website introduces the whole department as "Surgery, Gastroenterological Surgery," and is not a page for Gastroenterological Surgery II alone. In clinical care, the department treats malignant tumors of the esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas, and also provides surgical treatment such as liver transplantation, pancreas transplantation, and inflammatory bowel disease. The staff are divided into fields such as upper gastrointestinal, lower gastrointestinal, hepato-biliary-pancreatic, and chemotherapy, and provide clinical care in each. The department's greeting from 2019 states that it is also actively conducting clinical research with an eye to future medicine, such as cancer immunotherapy and regenerative medicine.

The Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery specializes in surgery of the breast and thyroid, providing clinical care and also conducting research. Breast cancer is the mainstay of the department's treatment, and the department's main theme is the application of genetic diagnosis to breast cancer care. The department pursues translational research, solving problems found in the clinic through research. In the doctoral program, students conduct a wide range of basic and clinical research on breast cancer.

The Pediatric Surgery lab is the pediatric surgery department of Osaka University, engaging in clinical care, research, and education as the pediatric surgery division of the university hospital. It covers a broad range of pediatric surgery, including neonatal surgery, fetal therapy, endoscopic surgery, and transplantation medicine. The lab values a cycle in which insights gained from patients lead to research, and the results are then returned to clinical care. Research is carried out in both clinical and basic research.

The Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine lab conducts research on the lungs in relation to mechanical ventilation management, as well as on the relationship between anesthesia and the brain. Curiosity about resolving questions that arise in clinical practice is the driving force of its research, which is carried out in divisions such as pulmonary physiology and neurophysiology. All areas related to anesthesia are objects of study, including surgical anesthesia, intensive care, palliative pain care, and labor analgesia management.

The Emergency Medicine lab serves as the Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center of Osaka University Hospital, engaging in clinical care, research, and education. While treating critically ill patients, the lab uses basic research to study how the body responds to various insults and to investigate treatments that control inflammation. A distinguishing feature is that problems are identified from clinical information and specimens collected during patient care and then linked to basic research aimed at solving them. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Handai Kyumei."

The Orthopaedic Surgery Lab (Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Osaka University) works on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and conducts epidemiological and clinical research. As related fields such as population aging, the spread of sports, rehabilitation, and welfare advance, the lab aims to provide advanced orthopaedic care so that patients can lead high-quality lives. The lab aims to clarify the mechanisms by which musculoskeletal disorders develop and progress, and to develop new treatments. Clinical care is provided by groups divided by body region or disease, such as rheumatology, spinal surgery, tumors, and the hip joint.
