The Biophysical Chemistry Lab observes changes in molecular structure as proteins function, in order to clarify how their functions arise. Using time-resolved spectroscopy, the lab investigates the diverse motions of proteins, spanning picoseconds to milliseconds. The lab is also developing new spectroscopic methods and instruments. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Mizutani Lab."

The Structural Organic Chemistry Lab (the Kubo Lab) works on synthesizing new molecules and evaluating their properties. The news section features papers on the synthesis and luminescence properties of the tribromophenalenyl radical, and on controlling diradical character. Papers on the synthesis of carbon nanorings and on the synthesis of molecules on metal substrates are also listed. Some of the papers include results of collaborations with other researchers.

The Functional Molecular Materials Lab designs and synthesizes functional molecules and turns them into materials, controlling how molecules move and assemble within a substance to tune its optical, electronic, and mechanical properties. Centered on the development of organic molecules, the lab aims to create molecular systems that deepen the understanding of natural science and organic materials that advance science and technology. Daily work includes organic synthesis, structural analysis, quantum chemical calculations, and spectroscopic analysis of light absorption and emission. Depending on the theme, the lab also synthesizes polymers and liquid crystals and carries out hardness measurements and tensile tests. The lab's website refers to it as the "Saito Lab."

The Biomolecular Chemistry Lab studies the total synthesis of complex, scarce bioactive natural products, as well as the revegetation of poor alkaline soils and the elucidation of the mechanism of iron ion uptake. The lab also develops tools for elucidating mechanisms of action and functions, as well as organic synthetic reactions using transition metal catalysts and environmentally benign organic synthetic reactions. The lab started in April 2025 in the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University.

The lab precisely synthesizes proteins with attached glycans (glycoproteins) and investigates what roles glycans play on proteins. Glycans attached to proteins vary in structure, so it is not easy to study the function of each individual glycan. To address this, the lab chemically synthesizes glycoproteins with uniform glycan structures. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kajihara Laboratory."

The lab studies naturally occurring organic compounds with biological activity, especially complex molecules that contain sugars. Focusing on glycoconjugates in the cell surface layer of bacteria, the lab determines their chemical structures and synthesizes them chemically. Lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan are substances involved in innate immunity in animals, and the lab also investigates the mechanisms by which they act.

The center combines molecular-level insights with an entropy perspective to build a view of matter that is aware of its hierarchical structure. Based on its original calorimetric techniques, the center pursues joint research and collaborative frameworks with researchers, research institutions, and companies in Japan and abroad. Starting as the Chemical Thermodynamics Laboratory in 1979, it was reorganized several times and took its current name in 2019. The center's full-time faculty conduct research and education as a cooperating group of the Department of Chemistry and as a concurrent-appointment group in the undergraduate program.

The Isotope Chemistry Lab builds on research in coordination chemistry and studies a wide range of metal elements, including radioactive elements. The lab works on synthesizing metal complexes that emit radiation and light, actinide chemistry, and developing chemical separation methods for elements such as astatine for nuclear medicine therapy. Its research themes also include the behavior of radioactive materials in the environment and analytical chemistry using muonic atoms. The lab is located in the Toyonaka Branch of the Radioisotope Research Center on Toyonaka Campus, and lab tours are held at any time for undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students alike.

The Particle Beam Chemistry Lab studies the elementary processes of chemical reactions that particle beams of atoms and molecules induce on solid surfaces, with the aim of controlling them. While developing its own advanced instruments, the lab conducts physical chemistry research rooted in making things (monozukuri). The lab also develops original surface analysis instruments that use particle beams. The lab belongs to the Institute for Radiation Sciences at The University of Osaka and is a cooperating division of the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science.

The Radiation Science Lab conducts research on radiation and radioisotopes with social applications and the solution of social issues in mind. The research is carried out through joint research with researchers in other fields and with private companies. Its main pillars are chemical research on nuclear medicine therapy using short-lived radioisotopes (RIs), and research related to the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and the recovery of the Hamadori area of Fukushima Prefecture. In nuclear medicine therapy, the lab deals with RI production methods, separation and purification, methods for labeling drugs, and the development of new drugs.
