The Radiation Biochemistry Lab aims to develop nuclear medicine therapeutics by labeling molecules of various sizes with short-lived radionuclides and evaluating their functions. The lab also analyzes the function of LAT1, an amino acid transporter whose expression is specifically induced in cancer cells, in order to clarify why this molecule is expressed in cancer and to help develop better therapeutics. In collaboration with the Graduate School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Engineering, the Institute for Radiation Sciences, and the Research Center for Nuclear Physics, the lab is involved in every step, from producing and separating nuclides to synthesizing and labeling compounds and evaluating them in cells and experimental animals. Regardless of which undergraduate faculty students come from, the lab values learning a variety of experimental methods and discovering one's own aptitude.

The Radiation Chemical Biology Lab studies drug development for targeted alpha therapy (TAT) and the functional analysis of sugar- and lipid-related molecules. Targeted alpha therapy is a drug-based treatment that delivers nuclides emitting high-energy alpha particles to cancer cells and kills them, and it is attracting attention as a new treatment for intractable cancers. The lab develops drug candidate compounds labeled with astatine-211 and conducts research with a view to a first-in-human clinical trial. In addition, in collaboration with synthetic organic chemists, the lab creates fluorescently labeled bioactive molecules and investigates the functions of sugar- and lipid-related molecules involved in diseases such as infections, cancer, and diabetes.

The Museum of Osaka University Advanced Collections Research Lab aims to apply physical chemistry methods to cultural heritage science, conservation science, and exhibition science. In cultural heritage science, the lab explores topics such as identifying the production date and provenance of cultural properties and reproducing how they were made. In conservation science, it studies cultural property materials such as cellulose to help preserve collection materials, and in exhibition science, it aims to reconcile the exhibition and use of materials with their preservation. The lab also researches building digital databases of academic collection information held by the museum and by various units of Osaka University, working to make it available to researchers in Japan and abroad.

The lab studies the roles that metal ions play in biological processes by synthesizing metal complexes. Its research involves designing and synthesizing model complexes of biological metal sites and investigating their biomimetic functions. The lab aims to deepen understanding of the environments in which metal ions express biological functions, and to create artificial proteins with biomimetic functions. The Department of Chemistry lists the lab as a concurrent-appointment course of the Center for Education in Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The Polymer Reaction Chemistry Lab studies the development of synthetic methods for polymers that make use of the properties of metal elements, and the creation of functional polymers. By precisely designing new transition metal complexes at the molecular level and investigating their reactivity, the lab develops new polymerization catalysts. Based on synthetic organic chemistry, the lab achieves a high degree of control over polymer structure and also explores functionalization that takes advantage of that structure. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Onitsuka Lab.'

The Precision Polymer Science Lab researches the creation of precision polymers with well-defined chemical structures, aiming to understand the essential nature of polymers (their polymeric nature). Large molecules with a molecular weight of roughly 10,000 or more are called polymers, and the nucleic acids and proteins that make up our bodies are also polymers. To find answers to questions such as why life chose polymers as its essential materials, the lab conducts research using precision polymers. The lab also aims to use polymeric nature to create high-performance polymers comparable to biopolymers.

The Polymer Synthetic Chemistry Lab aims to create polymer materials with new properties and functions by hierarchically controlling everything from molecular structure to assembled structure. Combining precision polymerization and self-assembly, the lab makes amphiphilic nano-assemblies and nanostructured materials that dynamically recognize and organize themselves in response to their environment. At the level of functional groups and atomic groups, the lab works on precisely programming the structure, properties, and functions of polymers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Terashima Lab.'

The Polymer Physical Chemistry Lab is part of the Department of Macromolecular Science, Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka, and is also called the Matsumiya Lab. The titles of published papers listed on the lab's website include works on polymer viscoelasticity, birefringence, and dielectric relaxation. The faculty are Professor Yumi Matsumiya and Associate Professor Osamu Urakawa.

The Polymer Materials Design Lab studies polymer materials that incorporate mechanisms by which molecules bind to each other reversibly. Using host-guest interactions between cyclodextrin, a host molecule, and guest molecules as crosslinks, the lab works on making materials whose scratches disappear and materials that are tough. Research themes include self-healing materials, as well as tough materials, adhesive systems, actuators, composite materials, and repolymerization and degradation using enzymatic reactions. The name "Takashima Lab" is also used in the contact information on the lab's website.

The Polymer Structural Science Lab studies how biological molecular machines work, such as the flagellar motors that bacteria use to swim. Bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella swim by rotating tiny motors made of proteins. The lab investigates how molecular machines like this motor operate through atomic-level three-dimensional structure analysis and reconstitution of the molecular machines. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Imada Lab."
