Tetsuo Ushiku, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare0 student voices
The Department of Human Pathology and Diagnostic Pathology studies how diseases arise, based on morphological pathology. Most of the staff and graduate students are pathologists, and the lab carries out research that makes use of their expertise as pathologists. With gastrointestinal pathology research centered on gastric cancer as its core, the lab studies a wide range of diseases. While collaborating with labs inside and outside the university, the lab actively adopts new technologies.
Yasuhiro Yamada, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Department of Molecular Pathology uses the technology for generating iPS cells (reprogramming) to study the mechanisms of cancer and aging. Epigenetic regulation, the mechanism that controls gene activity without changing the DNA sequence, is important for cell differentiation, and it is increasingly understood to be involved in carcinogenesis and aging as well. The lab has created "Reprogrammable mice," in which cell fate can be altered inside the living animal, and is carrying out analyses using them. Based on these findings, the lab aims to develop new treatments for disease, as well as methods for organ regeneration and rejuvenation.
Shoichi Ogio, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Telescope Array Experiment lab is carrying out an international collaborative experiment to observe the highest-energy cosmic rays arriving from space. Observation instruments are placed on barren desert land in Utah, USA, where they detect cosmic rays with energies above 10²⁰ electronvolts. The lab aims to identify the astrophysical objects that accelerate particles to such high energies, and to clarify how these particles propagate through space. In the lab, members from universities and research institutes work together with graduate students on operating the experiment, analyzing data, and developing new instruments.
Takanori Yoshikoshi, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Yoshikoshi Lab conducts research by observing astronomical objects that emit very-high-energy gamma rays. Using an observatory known as an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array, the lab investigates the activity of the astronomical objects with the largest energy scales in the universe. By observing supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and other objects, the lab aims to solve the "mystery of the origin of cosmic rays."
Kyoko Okino, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
The Okino-Kuroda Lab, part of the Division of Marine Geoscience at the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, studies the history the seafloor has gone through and past ocean environments. Prof. Okino uses seafloor topography, geomagnetic, and gravity data to investigate the history through which the seafloor came to take its present form. Prof. Kuroda analyzes seafloor sediments to study extreme environmental changes in Earth's history, such as periods when the ocean lost its oxygen and impacts of extraterrestrial bodies. The lab also takes part in research cruises aboard research vessels, carrying out seafloor observations and collecting sediments.
Haruhiko Bito, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The lab studies synapses, which connect neurons to one another, and the transmission of information inside neurons. Neural circuits have two properties: they are built according to a defined blueprint, and they also change and learn in response to experience. The ability to change with experience arises from the combination of electrical and chemical signals at synapses. The lab aims to identify each of these elementary processes and thereby clarify how the brain works.
Haruo Saito, Professor
0 student voices
Saito Lab conducts physics experiments using high-performance digital measuring instruments and data analysis methods. The lab studies three subjects: digital audio equipment, reference signal sources, and positronium. For audio equipment and reference signal sources, the lab uses measurement techniques it developed in-house to measure timing deviations and phase noise. For positronium, the lab conducts experiments to measure how it interacts with gas molecules.
Masafumi Oizumi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Oizumi Lab studies how to use mathematics to bridge neural activity in the brain and the subjective experiences people have. The lab approaches the problem of consciousness by dividing it into three pillars: the quality of consciousness, the level of consciousness, and the location of consciousness. Starting from integrated information theory, which holds that the essence of consciousness lies in "intrinsic information," the lab aims to make theories of consciousness experimentally testable. Using mathematical tools such as information geometry, control theory, and thermodynamics, and collaborating with experimental researchers, the lab connects theory with data.
Takumi Kinoshita, Lecturer

Kinoshita Lab studies light energy conversion and renewable energy. Its areas of expertise are energy-related chemistry, photochemistry, and electrochemistry.
Seishiro Aoki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Aoki Lab studies interactions between plants and bacteria and fungi from the standpoint of evolutionary biology. The research keywords listed for the lab include rhizobia, legumes, Agrobacterium, and plants of the genus Nicotiana (tobacco).
