The Next-Generation Pediatric Medicine Lab is based in the Department of Molecular Endocrinology at the National Center for Child Health and Development, where it studies endocrine disorders such as growth disorders and disorders of sex development. Targeting endocrine disorders and congenital malformation syndromes from the fetal period through reproductive age, the lab combines genomic and epigenomic analysis with clinical analysis, aiming to clarify how these conditions arise and to develop diagnostic methods and treatments. The lab collects patient samples in collaboration with clinicians around the world, and examines gene function through cell experiments and animal models. The lab is located at the National Center for Child Health and Development in Setagaya, Tokyo, and accepts graduate students and young researchers from across Japan.

The Dermatology Lab studies how diseases such as systemic sclerosis and skin cancer arise, and develops new treatments for them. The lab also provides clinical care as the Department of Dermatology of Tohoku University Hospital, and the professor, associate professor, and lecturer each have their own research themes. The lab's philosophy is "to train medical professionals and members of society who are truly useful to people," and it aims to contribute to community healthcare and share its research results with the world. Founded in 1907, the lab has a long history and has produced many research results on skin diseases.

The Biomarker Discovery Lab searches for genes and biomarkers associated with diseases and drug sensitivity, using biological samples such as blood collected in a large-scale biobank. Because genomic information obtained from Western populations does not always apply to Japanese people, the lab builds genome reference panels, develops SNP arrays, and searches for alleles associated with disease and drug sensitivity. In addition to samples from the Medical Megabank, a cohort of healthy individuals, the lab analyzes clinical specimens from people with diseases, working to identify disease-causing genes and discover biomarkers. By combining genetic information with omics information, the lab works toward personalized medicine that aims to improve disease prevention, diagnostic accuracy, and treatment effectiveness.

The Department of Advanced Cardiovascular Medicine conducts epidemiological and clinical research on the prevention of cardiovascular disease through its work at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center. In Japan, where risk factors for atherosclerotic disease such as obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension are increasing, preventing lifestyle-related diseases is considered the top priority. At the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, various clinical studies are carried out, including population-based cohort studies and studies of patients. The research takes place at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (Suita, Osaka).

The Clinical Aging Medicine lab is a division of the brain science research department at the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, and it also runs a clinical department, Geriatrics and Gerontology, at Tohoku University Hospital. The lab collects MRI images of the brains of many healthy people and conducts research using a brain imaging database. It investigates how environmental factors such as lifestyle and genetic factors affect the shape and function of the brain and cognitive ability. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Taki Lab / Geriatrics and Gerontology.”

The Organ Anatomy lab studies how changes in lipid balance inside and outside cells alter the functions of neural and immune cells. Focusing on fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs), which carry fatty acids within cells, it investigates the mechanisms underlying neurological diseases, inflammatory diseases, and tumors. The research uses mice and cultured cells.

The Neuropathophysiology and Control Lab was founded in May 2018 with the aim of developing cutting-edge treatments in neurosurgery. Working with the neurosurgery department, the lab identifies what is needed at the bedside and turns it into themes for developing new treatments. The Professor and the Associate Professor are neurosurgeons who currently perform surgery, so the environment lets students work through the whole process, from finding problems to development and clinical application. The lab belongs to both the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and the Graduate School of Medicine, and students earn a master's or doctoral degree in biomedical engineering or medicine depending on the graduate school they enter.

The Endowed Department of Sports Medicine and Motor Function Reconstruction is built on clinical and basic research in sports medicine, pain, and the development of medical implants, and on educational activities such as surgical technique training. It is an endowed department established in April 2025 in the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, and it is funded by donations from outside the university. Besides clinical research on the shoulder, knee, and ankle joints, the lab conducts basic research including biomechanics, imaging studies, epidemiological surveys, and animal experiments. The department is located in the Clinical Research Promotion Center within Tohoku University Hospital.

The Shimadzu × Tohoku University Supersulfide Life Science Co-creation Lab studies “supersulfide molecules,” in which multiple sulfur atoms are linked in a chain within a molecule. Supersulfide molecules have been found to exert antioxidant and cell-protective effects in the body, and research on them is expected to be applied to the prevention and treatment of disease. By combining Tohoku University's research on supersulfide molecules with Shimadzu's mass spectrometry technology, the lab aims to contribute to the development of drugs and foods that prevent aging. The lab's website is published within Shimadzu's website.
