The Veterinary Ethology Lab studies the natural behavior of mammals, working with laboratory rats, wild brown rats, and household animals. In its rat research, the lab investigates the pheromones used for communication with other rats. For wild brown rats, the lab studies both individual animals in the laboratory and groups in their actual habitats. For household animals, the lab uses epidemiological methods to identify the factors that matter for preventing problem behaviors and improving the quality of veterinary care.

The Applied Immunology Lab uses the methods of immunology to study protozoan diseases, which are infectious diseases caused by protozoa. Its main targets are leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis. Beyond analysis of genes and cells, the lab's research takes in infected animals and patients, and the field sites where the diseases are spreading. The lab also conducts a great deal of international collaborative research with researchers overseas.

The Health Policy and Public Health Lab is a Social Cooperation Program of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and studies health policy and public health. The lab aims to generate evidence (scientific grounds) tailored to clinical needs and to propose value-based health policy. A key challenge for the lab is to allocate healthcare resources appropriately based on evidence, so that both the public healthcare system and innovation can be sustained.

The lab studies the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals, as well as the systems for their development and regulation. Its research and education go beyond the scientific evaluation of drugs to cover their medical and social value, as well as drug administration and legal systems. Its aims are to train the specialists needed to bring pharmaceuticals into practical use, to raise the quality of clinical trials and new drug approval reviews, and to get the drugs patients want to the clinical setting sooner. In addition to graduate students, the lab offers lectures and courses that professionals from pharmaceutical companies and government agencies can also take.

The Drug Lifetime Management Lab studies ways to help medicines that have reached the market realize their full potential. This approach is called Drug Lifetime Management (DLM). The lab analyzes post-marketing information collected from healthcare and nursing care settings, homes, and pharmaceutical companies, aiming to apply it to the proper use of medicines and to post-marketing drug development. The lab also works on building educational systems to train the people who will carry out DLM.

The Clinical Pharmacokinetics Lab is part of the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Tokyo Hospital, and conducts research to understand the living body as a single system. The lab clarifies not only how each molecule that makes up the body functions, but also how these molecules combine to operate as a whole. Using systems pharmacology approaches, the lab aims to identify effective drug targets and to predict adverse drug reactions at an early stage. The lab also conducts clinical research on patients who visit the hospital.

The Chemical Pharmacology Lab studies plasticity, the ability of the brain to be active on its own and to change itself through that activity. Brain development, memory, and diseases such as depression and dementia can all be understood as some kind of change occurring in the brain. The lab investigates how brain circuits are built, how they work, and how they break down, and explores ways to treat, prevent, and diagnose brain diseases. Through this research, the lab aims to contribute to drug discovery science.

The Molecular Oncology Pharmacology Lab is a Social Cooperation Program of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and studies hematopoietic stem cells and hematologic malignancies (blood cancers). In basic research, the lab aims to elucidate biological phenomena; in areas closer to clinical application, it aims to study disease mechanisms, drug resistance, and combination therapies. A distinguishing feature of the lab is that it has developed an efficient gene transfer method using retroviral vectors and uses it to advance its research. Research is conducted through open discussion.

The Applied Immunology Lab (Shinkura Lab) studies antibodies produced by B lymphocytes, a key component of the immune system. B lymphocytes produce strong antibodies through somatic hypermutation, which introduces mutations into antibody genes, and class switch recombination, which changes the type of antibody. The lab investigates how AID, the enzyme that triggers these processes, is able to introduce mutations into antibody genes. While exploring how new antibodies are generated, the lab aims to apply the results of its basic research to the treatment of disease.

The Drug Metabolism Chemistry Lab conducts life science research grounded in chemistry (chemical biology). By precisely designing small organic molecules, the lab creates its own original chemical tools that make visible biological phenomena that could not be observed directly before. The lab is also developing entirely new medical technologies, such as methods that quickly make cancer and other diseased tissue glow during surgery. The lab carries out research that connects chemistry with biology and pharmacy with medicine, working together with lab members in the Faculty of Medicine.
