The Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention division conducts epidemiological research on cancer. Epidemiology is a field that studies, in groups rather than individuals, the frequency and distribution of disease and the factors that influence its onset and prognosis. The lab conducts research using Miyagi Prefecture cancer registry data, questionnaire surveys of patients admitted to Miyagi Cancer Center, and data from joint research with other institutions. The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention at the Miyagi Cancer Center Research Institute, headed by Prof. Kanamura, handles the operations of the Miyagi Cancer Registry Office and the hospital-based cancer registry office.

As the field responsible for midwifery education, the Women's Health and Midwifery Lab values sexual and reproductive health and aims to realize human well-being. The lab regards sexuality and reproduction (whether or not to have children, and if so, by what method and when) as a human right that people should be free to choose for themselves. The lab studies body care suited to women's life stages, such as postpartum urinary incontinence and decreased bone density during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as support for families welcoming a child, including perinatal mental health. Research on support for pregnancy, childbirth, and families is carried out in collaboration with partners such as the Comprehensive Perinatal Care Center at Tohoku University Hospital.

The Epilepsy Smart Medicine Joint Research Lab is listed as a "joint research department" in the list of fields at the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine. The professor is Prof. Endo, who also serves as a Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Graduate School of Medicine. Prof. Endo specializes in neurosurgery and lists cerebral aneurysm, moyamoya disease, and cerebrovascular disease as research keywords. Prof. Endo has also published papers with co-authors on the surgical treatment of epilepsy.

The Disaster Radiology Lab studies the effects of radiation on the human body and the management of radiation exposure, in nuclear disasters and in medicine. Interest in radiation grew after the accident at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, but the lab's web page states that many members of the general public still hold misunderstandings about its effects on the human body. The lab evaluates the amount and effects of radiation that people receive, and also develops diagnostic imaging systems for use in disasters. The lab also places importance on educating students in related fields.

The Neurosurgery Lab studies cerebrovascular disease, brain tumors, regenerative medicine, medical AI, and more. The lab began in 1964, when Prof. Suzuki, its first Professor, and colleagues started clinical practice at the Nagamachi Branch Hospital (now Kohnan Hospital). Its activities center on clinical care, education, and research, with the goal of training neurosurgery specialists, researchers, and educators. As a pillar of training for young physicians, the lab's policy is, in principle, for all of its medical staff to obtain board certification in neurosurgery and a doctorate in medicine.

The Infection Pathophysiology Lab focuses on basic research on the pathophysiology of infection, host defense, and clinical microbiology. Since April 2023, the lab has operated by merging the Infection Pathophysiology division of the Health Sciences Program with the Comprehensive Infectious Diseases division of the Medical Science Program, so that basic and clinical researchers work as one. Its goals are to translate basic research into clinical practice and to apply new findings from clinical research to clinical medicine. In the professor's greeting, the lab states that it puts effort into training medical researchers who understand clinical infectious diseases and microbiology from both basic and clinical perspectives, as well as healthcare professionals for infectious disease care, where personnel are in short supply.
Takuya Sasaki, Professor

The Neuropharmacology Lab studies the neural circuits that underlie brain functions such as memory and emotion, using a wide range of techniques from the molecular level to behavior. Because malfunctioning neural circuits can lead to disorders such as depression, the lab aims to find the root causes of disease and targets for drug discovery based on an understanding of these circuits. Neurons in the brain come in many types, and the lab investigates in detail how their individual characteristics relate to brain function. On the lab's website it is introduced under the name "Pharmacology Division," and Prof. Sasaki also holds a concurrent position in the Neuropharmacology Division of the Graduate School of Medicine.

The lab conducts research to identify the factors behind health-promoting behaviors and unhealthy behaviors. Based on its findings, the lab aims to develop methods for achieving behavior change and to return the results to society. The lab belongs to the Department of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology of the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, and is responsible for managing and running community-based cohort studies and collecting the data. Making use of Tohoku University's environment for personnel exchange and international joint research, the lab plans to carry out education and research while interacting with researchers from diverse cultures.

The lab addresses the wide range of problems surrounding infectious diseases through clinical care, research, education, and community support. Since April 2023, the lab has been run as a single department merged with the Department of Infection Pathophysiology, its basic-science counterpart. Its goals are to translate basic research into clinical practice and to apply the new findings from clinical research to clinical medicine. The lab also puts effort into training professionals who can manage infectious diseases comprehensively, and the next generation of medical researchers who can contribute to the advancement of medicine.
