The Interdisciplinary Group (Nuclear Function) studies the mechanisms by which chromosomal DNA is replicated. The lab's website lists "replication licensing," which ensures that chromosomal DNA is replicated only once per cell cycle, as one of the pillars of its research. In addition to studying replication from the perspectives of making, transmitting, and protecting chromosomes, the lab also lists the development of the "protein interference method," which degrades target proteins to study their functions.

The Interdisciplinary Group (Developmental Biology) is a lab in the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University, that studies developmental biology. It belongs to the Cell Biology Division, and Associate Professor Kaoru Imai is listed as a faculty member. The lab is located on the Toyonaka Campus.

The Interdisciplinary Group (Plant Science) aims to clarify how patterns arise during plant growth. Simple, regular biological patterns, such as the arrangement of leaves and of cells, have long attracted scientists and are still actively studied. At the tissue level, the lab focuses on how the cell division plane is selected; at the whole-plant level, it studies a perennial herbaceous plant characterized by the plasticity of its phyllotaxis.

The Biological Sciences Group (Plant Positional Information) conducts research with the goal of uncovering the positional information that operates in early plant embryos. Organs of a seedling, such as the cotyledons and roots, are always formed in fixed arrangements. The lab investigates how cells recognize where they are and activate genes accordingly. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the lab carries out analyses with reverse genetics approaches that make use of genome information. The lab welcomes undergraduate and graduate students who would like to work on research together.

The RNA Biofunction Lab studies the functions of noncoding RNAs that serve as the scaffold of intracellular structures, among the large numbers of noncoding RNAs produced from the human genome. The lab discovered these RNAs and named them architectural RNAs (arcRNAs). Together with proteins, arcRNAs cause intracellular phase separation and lead the formation of membraneless organelles. The lab investigates how proteins recognize arcRNA sequences, how arcRNAs function, and how to find new arcRNAs, through three research themes. On the lab's website, it is introduced as a lab of the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences, Osaka University.

The Single-Molecule Biology Lab observes biomolecules inside cells one at a time to study how cells process information and move. The lab aims to reveal, at single-molecule resolution, how stochastically acting biomolecules give rise to systems with information-processing and motile functions. Recently, using artificial intelligence techniques such as deep learning together with robotics, the lab developed a cell measurement system that automates everything from microscope operation to image analysis. Members' backgrounds include biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and information science.

The Cell Function Design Lab studies how cells build complex tissues and organs and generate cell-population functions such as maintaining homeostasis and regeneration. By freely designing the rules of cell–cell interaction and testing the resulting behavior of cell populations, the lab aims to understand how tissues form and to develop new tissue engineering technologies. The lab is also working on developing new therapies based on manipulating cell–cell interactions. The lab is located at the Institute for Protein Research, The University of Osaka, and accepts graduate students from the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science.

The Life Function Group Lab is a lab at the Suita Campus, in the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science. In the researcher directory, general neuroscience is listed as the research field of Associate Professor Keiko Tominaga. Titles of papers since 2022 include the mechanism by which the circadian clock responds to light, and the circadian rhythms of maternal behavior and feeding behavior in lactating mice.

The Bioinorganic Chemistry Lab aims to understand the structures and properties of the active centers of metalloenzymes and to elucidate chemically the chemical reactions that take place in living organisms. Another goal is to create new metal complexes and reaction systems inspired by the structures of metalloenzymes and the reactions they carry out. The lab approaches the metal active sites of metalloproteins in two ways: model synthesis using coordination chemistry, and X-ray structure analysis and spectroscopic measurements of proteins. Lab visits are accepted at any time, from both within and outside the university.

The Macromolecular Structural Science Lab studies how biological molecular machines work, starting with the bacterial flagellar motor. Bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella swim using motors made of protein about 50 nm in diameter, and these motors rotate at speeds of more than 10,000 rpm. The lab investigates their operating mechanism through atomic-level three-dimensional structure analysis and reconstitution of molecular machines. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Imada Lab."
