The Frontier Surgery Lab aims to advance the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and inguinal hernia through high-quality clinical research and translational research. The lab takes its name from its mission to open up new, untouched areas in surgical practice and research. Its members also hold positions in the surgery department of the affiliated hospital, where they perform surgery for diseases of the colon, rectum, anus, and stomach, especially colorectal cancer and gastric cancer. The lab focuses on minimally invasive surgery, such as laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery.

The Clinical Genome Oncology Lab conducts a wide range of research, from basic to developmental research, in order to bring new medicine to people suffering from cancer. By examining cancer genomes, gene expression, and protein-protein binding, the lab has identified molecules involved in the onset and progression of gastrointestinal cancers such as colorectal cancer, bile duct cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The lab clarifies how these molecules function and are regulated, and examines whether therapies targeting them are feasible. In addition to creating animal models of cancer and searching for drug candidates, the lab has begun research on precision medicine using artificial intelligence (AI), making use of the affiliated hospital.

The lab studies hematologic malignancies such as leukemia, as well as a wide range of other blood diseases. Starting from the challenges faced by patients in daily clinical care, the lab aims for a "Bench to Bedside" cycle in which research findings are returned to patients as new diagnostics and treatments. Using both computational and experimental approaches, the lab works on everything from genomic research and bioinformatics with next-generation sequencers to cell experiments and validation in mouse models. Working as one with the Department of Hematology and Oncology at the affiliated hospital, the lab carries out clinical care, research, and education for blood diseases.

The Cell Regulation Lab focuses on adult stem cells and studies how the state of cells is regulated. The main subject of its research is hematopoietic stem cells, which keep producing blood cells throughout life. The lab aims to understand these regulatory mechanisms and, by manipulating them, to explore the possibility of new therapies.

The Digital Genomics Lab uses mathematical models to search for genetic regions involved in common diseases. Its targets include not only diseases but also regions involved in other traits. The lab aims to clarify through what molecular mechanisms the regions it identifies contribute to diseases and traits. The lab belongs to the Human Genome Center at the Institute of Medical Science.

The Health Medical Intelligence Lab studies how to use diverse health and medical data to predict and prevent disease and to maintain health. The lab works with human genomes, multi-omics data, health checkup and insurance claims data, and metagenomic data of the bacterial and viral communities that live in symbiosis with humans. Based on Bayesian statistics, machine learning, and deep learning, the lab develops theory and methodology for analyzing big data. Analyses are run on SHIROKANE, the supercomputer at the Human Genome Center. Associate Professor Kotoe Katayama and colleagues also study algorithms for solving biological, medical, and chemical problems by computer, as well as databases of chemical reaction systems of biomolecules.

The Public Policy Lab is a "humanities and social sciences" lab that conducts comparative research on policy and governance related to medicine and healthcare. The lab analyzes the impact of medical research and healthcare from the perspectives of people living with illness or disability. In addition to research ethics and medical ethics, the lab places importance on areas such as welfare, labor, family, community, and culture. As a bridge between researchers and patients and citizens, the lab values patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE).
Kenta Nakai, Professor

Nakai Lab (Functional In Silico Analysis) conducts research that uses computers to analyze the functions of genome information and gene products. 'In silico' means 'in silicon,' that is, research carried out using computers. The lab works with experimental researchers and uses cutting-edge technologies such as next-generation sequencers to research and develop bioinformatics methods. The lab aims to contribute to new discoveries in biology, to the understanding of the mechanisms of disease and immune response, and to regenerative medicine.

The Sequence Data Information Processing Lab researches algorithms for solving problems in biology, medicine, and chemistry with computers. In addition to designing and analyzing algorithms, the lab builds an integrated database of chemical reaction systems of biomolecules. Beyond big data analysis, the lab studies computational algorithms from both theoretical and practical perspectives. From both the application of bioinformatics and the foundations of information science, the lab aims to bring new approaches to this field.
Matsuda Kouichi, Professor

The Matsuda-Tanikawa Lab uses genome analysis to study the mechanisms by which diseases, particularly cancer, arise. Cancer is a disease caused by abnormalities in genes (DNA), and the lab investigates how changes in DNA lead to disease. One of the main research themes is analyzing the function of p53, a tumor suppressor gene. The lab aims to enable disease prevention, early detection, and medicine tailored to each individual's constitution (personalized medicine).
