Manabu Mochizuki, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare0 student voices
The Advanced Medical Science Lab studies orthopedic and neurosurgical diseases in small animals. The lab is based at the Veterinary Medical Center, which is attached to the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, and Prof. Mochizuki serves as the center's director and is in charge of orthopedics.
Ryota Tochinai, Associate Professor
Food & Agriculture0 student voices
The Food Pathogenic Microbiology Lab studies pathophysiology and toxicology based on the evaluation of animal physiological function. The lab explores animal disease models and original techniques for evaluating physiological function that are useful for nonclinical safety studies of food and pharmaceuticals. By combining pathological analysis with constantly changing data such as animal vital signs, the lab works to clarify the mechanisms of disease and to develop technologies for prevention and treatment. The lab is now seeking to extend this approach to models of infections caused by food-borne microorganisms.
Akira Kiminami, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Kiminami Lab studies how to achieve sustainable agricultural management and rural communities. It views agricultural management as an organization that produces food, materials, and services such as local environmental conservation and recreation, and delivers them to society. The lab analyzes agricultural management in terms of desirable ways of operating, the ability to combine resources for production, and the mechanisms for procuring resources and distributing outcomes, and considers effective strategies and policies. In education, the lab aims to develop students' ability to identify social issues on their own and find ways to solve them.
Hironori Yagi, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Yagi Lab studies the management of agriculture, agriculture-related businesses, and the economy, society, resources, and environment of the surrounding regions. The focus of its research is how to set strategies suited to social and economic change, how to run organizations, which are groups of people, and how to keep them growing sustainably. Using methods from management science and related economics, the lab conducts research based on fieldwork, as well as theoretical research built on that foundation. In the undergraduate lab seminar, students not only read the literature on farm management but also hold discussions with farm managers.
LIU Jingyu, Associate Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
The Liu Lab studies climate change and sustainable development. A stable supply of food and nutrition is essential to the livelihoods of many people and to social stability. At the same time, food systems are thought to have a major impact on resource use, the environment, the climate, and biodiversity. The lab builds and applies models using quantitative methods, aiming to contribute to the sustainable use of food, energy, water, and resource systems.
Kentaro Kawasaki, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Kawasaki Lab studies a wide range of topics in agricultural economics, including production, the environment, trade, and development. Although the topics are diverse, the lab's analytical approach is consistent: it aims to deliver its messages through numbers. The lab builds up, one by one, the numbers that form the basis of objective evidence, which matters when opinions are divided over specific measures. Students choose their own research topics freely and discuss them actively in the lab seminar, which undergraduate thesis students and graduate students attend (students from other labs also join the graduate lab seminar).
Yuki Okada, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Okada Lab (Laboratory of Pathology and Development) studies changes in chromatin in germ cells. In germ cells, which pass genetic information on to the next generation, the environment surrounding the DNA also changes dramatically so that the information is transmitted correctly. The lab focuses on chromatin, which regulates gene function by changing the higher-order structure of DNA, and investigates how these changes contribute to the maintenance or erasure (resetting) of genetic information. The lab's research uses mice and biochemical methods.
Akiko Takahashi, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Cellular Senescence Biology Lab studies, at the molecular level, how cells undergo senescence. Cellular senescence is triggered by various stresses that can lead to cancer, and is thought to be closely involved in age-related diseases such as cancer as well as in the aging of the body. The lab aims to clarify the molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence and to control cancer and aging. The lab was launched in July 2025 at the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the University of Tokyo.
Sadao Ota, Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
Ota Lab develops next-generation biotechnology that pursues the value of information. By combining optical, electrical, microfluidic, and soft-material technologies with information science and synthetic biology, the lab creates new measurement mechanisms. Its research targets include molecules, bacteria, cells, extracellular vesicles, and organoids, with the aim of discovering phenomena in biomedical science and biophysics and elucidating their mechanisms. The members include hardware experts in optics and fluidics as well as experts in biology and chemistry, and they advance research through collaboration across fields.
Risa K Kawaguchi, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Kawaguchi Lab uses computational life science and bioinformatics to understand biological phenomena common to all cells. It is known that even among individuals or cells with the same genome, various differences (heterogeneity) arise. Based on high-dimensional data, the lab seeks to clarify the mechanisms that determine various biological processes. Using the latest information science and artificial intelligence technologies, the lab aims to understand biological systems in a form that humans can interpret.
