The lab develops methods for synthesizing proteins, peptides, and glycoconjugates, and studies their physiological functions. Based on solution-phase chemical synthesis, the lab also develops protecting groups and solvent systems that make intermediates formed during synthesis more soluble. The synthesized samples are used in joint research with researchers in Japan and abroad to investigate the mechanisms by which bioactivity arises. The Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka lists the lab as a collaborative, concurrent-appointment chair.
Jun Kunisawa, Visiting Professor

The Vaccine Materials Project focuses on the unique characteristics of mucosal immunity and conducts research that leads to the development of mucosal vaccines and immunotherapies. Mucosal vaccines delivered by inhalation or orally have been put into practical use for some infectious diseases. Extending them to many other infectious diseases and allergies requires developing vaccine materials such as vaccine delivery systems and adjuvants. Project Leader Jun Kunisawa also serves as a Visiting Professor in the cooperative graduate school program of the Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka. The lab's website presents it under the name "Vaccine Materials Project."

According to the introduction page for Kansai Center Materials Chemistry, the AIST Chubu Center focuses its research and development on materials such as ceramics and metals, and on their manufacturing processes. Building on its strengths in these areas, the lab conducts research and development on a variety of functional components, aiming at the social implementation of the technology. Its main pillars of activity are carrying out the action plan of the national Strategy for Strengthening Materials Innovation Capability, promoting regional innovation, and contributing to future mobility.

Kansai Center Battery System Chemistry is a lab in the Department of Chemistry that carries the name of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and its member is Visiting Professor Tetsu Kiyobayashi. Visiting Professor Tetsu Kiyobayashi comes from the Research Institute of Electrochemical Technology in AIST's Energy and Environment Area, and currently serves as Deputy Director of the Kansai Center. Besides being involved in developing the ISO standard for hydrogen storage containers that use hydrogen storage alloys, he works on standardization for fuel cell technology, hydrogen technology, and materials for lithium-ion batteries.

The Biohistory Lab (Oda Lab) studies the mechanisms of cells and morphogenesis, centered on the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum, at the JT Biohistory Research Hall. Parasteatoda tepidariorum is a model organism that the lab pioneered. By comparing with insects and vertebrates, the lab explores the fundamental principles underlying animal diversity. The JT Biohistory Research Hall accepts graduate students as a collaborative chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University.
Junpei Kuroda, Visiting Associate Professor

The Kuroda Lab studies how cells assemble “building materials” such as collagen to form the body. The lab mainly uses zebrafish, a model organism, for its investigations. It aims to uncover the basic principle by which cells build the shape of the body by precisely orienting structures of collagen fibers. The JT Biohistory Research Hall, where the lab is located, is in charge of the cooperative chair “Biohistory” in the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University, and accepts graduate students.

The Biomolecular Machine Design Lab studies how biological molecular motors such as kinesin and dynein move reliably in one direction in a nanoscale world dominated by thermal fluctuations. Beyond examining existing molecular motors, the lab is trying to establish a “create to understand” approach: prototyping new molecular motors from simple components and understanding them through their behavior. It also focuses on the connection between parts and the whole as the hierarchy rises from molecules to organelles, cells, and individuals, and investigates collective properties in model systems using DNA nanostructures and other materials. The laboratory space is located in the Advanced ICT Research Institute (Kobe/Akashi) of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and the lab operates as a team within NICT's Biophysics Project.

The lab studies how blood vessels are formed and maintained during development and afterward. Using zebrafish embryos, it examines how the shape and movement of endothelial cells are regulated, with methods such as high-resolution time-lapse imaging. It also focuses on how forces generated by blood flow affect endothelial cell behavior and blood vessel shape. The research is conducted at the RIKEN Kobe Campus, and the lab is introduced at Osaka University as a lab of the Department of Biological Sciences.
Hiroki Shibuya, Visiting Associate Professor

The Life Inheritance Systems Lab studies the molecular basis of biological phenomena unique to germ cells. Even when an individual organism reaches the end of its life, a species can persist almost indefinitely, because germ cells refresh genetic information and pass it on accurately to the next generation. The lab focuses on meiosis, which halves the number of chromosomes, and on differentiation into sperm and eggs (gametes), and studies them using mice and nematodes. The lab's website presents it as the “Gametogenesis Research Team” of the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research.
