Ryuji Takagi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Takagi Lab conducts fundamental research in quantum information theory. Drawing on perspectives from physics, information science, and computational science, the lab clarifies the essential properties of quantum systems from an operational viewpoint. Its main research topics include quantum resource theory, quantum entanglement theory, and quantum thermodynamics. Founded in 2024, it is a new lab on the Komaba Campus.
Takeshi Imai, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Imai Lab studies the development and clinical application of medical artificial intelligence systems, in the interdisciplinary area where medicine, engineering, and informatics overlap. It combines knowledge-based reasoning built on clinical knowledge databases with natural language processing using machine learning and large language models. Its work includes computer-aided diagnosis and clinical care support, patient safety support, and knowledge discovery from large-scale clinical databases. The lab also puts effort into social implementation, releasing what it builds as services that people actually use.
Mareki Honma, Professor
1 student voices
The Honma Lab studies radio astronomy and galactic astronomy. Using ultra-high-resolution interferometric observations that combine many radio telescopes, the lab works on directly imaging black holes. The lab also investigates the structure of the Milky Way and dark matter through astrometric observations, which precisely measure the positions of stars. Prof. Honma belongs to the Mizusawa VLBI Observatory of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and serves as the observatory's director.
Takuma Izumi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Izumi Lab studies active galactic nuclei, the brightly shining centers of galaxies. Using radio waves, mainly millimeter and submillimeter waves, the lab observes active galactic nuclei across the universe, both nearby and in the distant past. The lab investigates how supermassive black holes grow and how active galactic nuclei affect the growth and evolution of galaxies. Associate Professor Izumi belongs to the ALMA Project at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
Kazunori Kori, Professor
1 student voices
The Kori Lab theoretically studies the beginning of the universe and the mysteries that arise in compact objects such as black holes. To do so, the lab uses quantum field theory, general relativity, cosmology, and mathematics. The universe was born 13.8 billion years ago and expanded from a fireball state known as the Big Bang into the vast universe we see today. The lab keeps asking what happened before that fireball formed, and what dark matter and dark energy really are.
Takashi Saito, Professor
1 student voices
The Saito Lab studies how neurodegenerative diseases arise, focusing on dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The lab aims to go from elucidating these mechanisms to research on prevention, treatment, and drug discovery for delaying disease onset. Using model mice that reproduce the pathology, the lab examines the molecules and cells involved in disease pathophysiology one by one. Under a new setup in which Prof. Saito took up the post in February 2026, the lab is pursuing a wide range of collaborative research, including with pharmaceutical companies.
Masaaki Kimura, Office Director
1 student voices
The Nucleon Many-Body Theory Lab studies, through theory, the structure and reactions of atomic nuclei, which are formed when protons and neutrons come together. Masaaki Kimura, the head of the lab, also serves as a faculty member in the Department of Physics (Nuclear Theory), Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo. The lab deals with the shapes, shell structure, and clustering phenomena of unstable nuclei, as well as nuclear reactions inside the astronomical objects where elements originate. To make use of nuclear reactions in medicine and industry, the lab also works on the research and development of nuclear reaction databases.
Yasuo Ihara, Associate Professor

The Evolutionary Anthropology Lab studies the evolution of human behavior from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. It asks why human behavior differs so greatly from that of other animals, and how natural selection has shaped human behavior. Using methods from mathematical biology and computational approaches, the lab investigates the evolution of social behavior and cultural evolution.
Osamu Kondo, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Morphological Anthropology Lab studies human evolution, as well as variation and adaptation among human populations, based on the shapes of human bones and teeth. In addition to traditional methods, the lab incorporates new approaches such as CT scanning, three-dimensional morphometrics, simulation, and statistical methods. At the same time, the lab places great importance on collecting and organizing human skeletal collections and on carrying out their conservation treatment and description reliably. Graduate students working in macroscopic morphological anthropology can pursue their own research themes without being tied to a fixed topic.
Naomichi Ogihara, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Human Evolutionary Biomechanics Lab studies why the skeletal and muscular structures of the human body have come to take their present form. From a mechanical perspective, the lab aims to clarify the evolution of motor functions unique to humans, such as upright bipedal locomotion and the ability to grasp objects precisely. The lab mainly uses three-dimensional shape analysis based on CT images, movement analysis using methods such as motion capture, and simulation with musculoskeletal models. The lab is also pursuing research that applies its findings to the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.
