Medical Oncology is a clinical department of Tohoku University Hospital that upholds the idea of "creating a society where everyone can live with peace of mind and hope, even with cancer." The lab aims to provide care that lets all cancer patients keep their hope, and to keep creating new treatment options. In the member introductions, the professor states that the department carries out clinical care and research with the attitude of "learning from patients, learning more, and giving back to patients." The department accepts applications from students and residents for hospital visits.

The Perinatal Medicine Lab focuses its research on developing diagnostic methods and treatments for preterm birth. Using pregnant mice and sheep, the lab searches for markers that detect intrauterine inflammation and works on developing an artificial uterus and artificial placenta, among other projects. The lab looks for answers to questions encountered in the clinic, such as "What causes preterm birth?" and "How can we reduce the number of preterm births?" The lab also makes an effort to write up, as papers, facts and new findings from clinical practice that should be widely shared with pregnant women.

The lab provides clinical care and conducts research to cleanly repair "appearance problems" caused by congenital conditions, injuries, and cancer treatment. For congenital facial conditions such as cleft lip and palate, the lab performs craniomaxillofacial surgery, including distraction osteogenesis, at the Cleft Lip, Jaw, and Palate Center, which it runs jointly with dentistry. For reconstruction of the face and breast after tissue is lost to cancer treatment, the lab performs free composite tissue transfer, using a microscope to transplant tissue from a healthy part of the patient's own body. For severe head and facial trauma, the lab treats patients together with the emergency department, aiming for treatment that allows an early return to society.

The lab aims to return findings from cohort studies to clinical practice. Based on the birth three-generation cohort study, the lab conducts research that looks at the entire life course, from the fetal period to adulthood. It analyzes the safety of medications during pregnancy and lactation, maternal and child health, and the risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases. Making use of genomic and real-world data as well, the lab advances research that leads to next-generation preventive medicine and personalized medicine.

The Medical Physics lab (Gonda Lab) uses nanomedicine to develop imaging technologies that are extremely important for the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer and arteriosclerosis. Using in vivo imaging of disease model mice, the lab investigates the mechanisms of cancer and peripheral arterial disease and applies the results to developing diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. The lab is also developing a technology that examines surgically removed human cancer tissue with fluorescence imaging to diagnose, with high accuracy, the likelihood of postoperative recurrence and the efficacy of anticancer drugs. Members come from diverse backgrounds in science, engineering, and medicine, and conduct research with a strong emphasis on discussion and teamwork.

The Ogishima Lab (Genomic Medicine Informatics) conducts research on informatics for genomic medicine. Taking each individual's genetic factors as a background and also considering the influence of environmental factors, the lab aims to clarify the mechanisms of disease onset and progression. It integrates data such as genome and omics information and medical information, and works to elucidate these mechanisms using informatics methods such as large-scale data analysis and machine learning. The lab belongs to the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization and the Graduate School of Medicine.

The Division of Cancer Chemotherapy is located at the Miyagi Cancer Center Research Institute and also operates as the Tumor Biochemistry field of the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine. Centering on research on the metabolic activity of cancer, it studies cancers such as small cell lung cancer, one of the most malignant types of lung cancer. It studies new metabolism-targeted therapies that are effective against cancers for which molecularly targeted therapies have not been well developed. It aims to develop new cancer treatments focused on metabolism, diet, and immunity.

The Genome Preventive Medicine field studies the mechanisms that regulate gene expression and builds the foundation for using genomic information in medicine. Using mast cells, a type of blood cell, as its subject, the lab investigates how gene activity is determined for each cell type. It also promotes the use of the integrated biobank of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization and conducts research on returning disease risk based on genetic information to individuals.
