The lab is in charge of the community-based cohort study of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project. It evaluates risk factors for conditions such as cardiovascular disease and depression, which are feared to increase as a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and feeds the results back to the people who took part in the study. By evaluating combinations of constitution, genes, and environmental factors, the lab aims to develop future-oriented medicine that contributes to establishing new preventive methods and treatments.

The Radiation Therapy Lab conducts research aimed at further advancing radiation therapy for cancer. Radiation therapy places little burden on the body, and as patients age, it is expected to play an even larger role in cancer treatment. The lab places importance on collaborative research with the radiation oncology division at Tohoku University and with people involved in radiation therapy at other institutions. Together with the medical physics group of the Division of Radiation Oncology in the Graduate School of Medicine, the lab conducts joint research and trains medical physicists and radiation therapy technologists specializing in radiation therapy.

The Exercise Science Lab uses physical activity, exercise, sports, nutrition, diet, and lifestyle as its keywords, working to improve physical performance, including athletic performance, and to solve health-related problems. Research is carried out using knowledge and techniques from a wide range of fields, from the cellular level to the population level, depending on the research theme. On the lab's website, it is introduced under two names: the "Sports and Health Science" division in the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and the "Exercise Science" division in the Graduate School of Medicine. Students are free to choose their own research themes and are not limited to the lab's current main themes.

The Gerontological and Home Care Nursing field studies nursing that supports people in living as themselves in the environment they choose, even in old age or with illness or disability. The lab values "nursing in the place of daily life" in familiar settings such as the home, care facilities, and the community, and works to create new practical knowledge oriented toward where people live. Research themes include end-of-life care in combined nursing and small-scale multifunctional home care (kantaki), family caregivers' sleep, and verification of death at home. Undergraduate research students carry out their graduation research under the guidance of faculty members and graduate students.

The Antibody Drug Discovery Lab studies how to produce antibodies against a variety of cancer-related molecules and apply them to antibody-based cancer therapy. The lab's website describes the production of antibodies targeting molecules such as HER2, CD44, and podoplanin, as well as research toward treatments for breast cancer, brain tumors, and lung cancer. Research on treatment using CAR-T cells is also described. The lab's website also presents the lab under the name "Kato Lab."

The Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing Lab studies nursing approaches that protect and enhance people's mental health. Its role is to develop evidence-based care by viewing people holistically from biological, social, and psychological perspectives. The subjects of its work extend beyond individuals to groups such as families, communities, and schools, as well as healthcare professionals and supporters. Its research addresses support for people living with dementia and environments that enhance resilience in adolescence.

The Image Analysis Lab studies diagnostic imaging with nuclear medicine and PET, which use radiopharmaceuticals, as well as postmortem imaging. Although nuclear medicine and PET have lower resolution than CT or MRI images, they provide "molecular imaging" information such as function and metabolism. The lab aims to develop radiological technologists who can lead nuclear medicine and PET research in Japan and abroad as scientists and educators. For nuclear medicine and PET, the lab works with the Department of Radiology at Tohoku University Hospital and the Advanced Quantum Beam Science Research Center; for postmortem imaging, it works with the Autopsy Imaging Center of the Graduate School of Medicine.

The Palliative Medicine Lab is engaged in clinical practice, research, and education in palliative care. The professor explains that palliative care is for all patients suffering from serious illness and their families, and is not limited to end-of-life care. The national government is working to promote "palliative care from the time of cancer diagnosis," and the professor states that even for curable diseases, it is important to adequately relieve suffering from the early stages. In the greeting on taking office in 2015, the professor named educating medical students and young doctors in palliative medicine and conducting high-quality clinical research as the lab's roles, and said the lab will strive to send out high-quality evidence from Tohoku.
