Building on synthetic organic chemistry, the Organic Chemistry II Lab researches structural organic chemistry, organic functional materials, and organic semiconductor devices. The lab's motto is "Creating function through synthetic chemistry." Within the lab, researchers cover everything from synthesizing new molecules and studying their properties to fabricating thin films and transistors and evaluating the flow of electricity. Established in 2017, the lab belongs to the Division of Interdisciplinary Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University.

The Inorganic Solid State Chemistry Lab studies a wide range of solid materials, including oxides, with the aim of discovering, creating, and understanding new functions. Using advanced techniques that handle scales from nanometers up to sizes visible to the eye, the lab synthesizes thin films and measures their electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. When compounds are synthesized by combining elements of the periodic table, a diversity of physical properties beyond imagination emerges. The lab aims to build new scientific principles of materials chemistry, with solid materials as its subject.

The Radiochemistry Lab conducts research divided into three fields: elementary particle and antiparticle chemistry, environmental radiochemistry, and radiation chemistry. Details of each field are introduced on the field-specific pages of the lab's website. The lab is in the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University, and its members are faculty and doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students. The lab accepts lab visits at any time for third-year undergraduate students.

The Molecular Cell Biology Division (Ohashi Lab) studies how cells respond to the mechanical forces and low oxygen applied to them. Muscles and bones change their structure in response to mechanical load, and blood vessels are involved in functions such as regulating blood pressure in response to the force of blood flow. The lab investigates the molecular mechanisms by which cells sense force and respond by remodeling the cytoskeleton, using methods such as observation that visualizes living cells. In the response to low oxygen, the lab found that PHD, an oxygen-sensing enzyme, also controls a response pathway separate from HIF, and is analyzing how this works.

The Paleoenvironmental Change and Evolutionary Paleontology Lab reconstructs past Earth surface environments from the skeletons and shells of corals, bivalves, brachiopods, and other organisms, as well as from carbonate sediments. Using methods from paleontology, sedimentology, and geochemistry, the lab investigates environmental change over a variety of timescales. Behind the research is the view that, to predict how the Earth as a whole will respond to rapidly advancing global warming, it is necessary to reconstruct past environmental changes and clarify their causal relationships. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Carbonate Sedimentology and Geochemistry Group."

The Geology and Paleoceanography Lab studies past environmental change, mainly in the Cretaceous, through chemical analysis of strata and analysis of fossil assemblages. It focuses in particular on the oceans of the Cretaceous, investigating the causes and progression of oceanic anoxic events, in which the sea lost its oxygen. The lab also works on precisely determining the ages of strata, correlating volcanic ash layers, and estimating marine environments using foraminifera.

The Fault and Crustal Mechanics Lab studies earthquakes and rock deformation. Earthquakes and crustal deformation are complex deformation processes of the crust that occur in non-equilibrium systems, where energy is not conserved. By combining mathematical-physical theory, laboratory rock experiments, and field geological surveys, the lab links the deformation of rocks and minerals to crustal deformation and seismic activity across the Japanese Islands. The lab also studies the relationship between fluctuations in atmospheric radon concentration and earthquakes, as well as the postseismic deformation that follows major earthquakes.

The Crustal Evolution Lab (KREATE) takes a materials science approach to study reactions between rocks and fluids in the lithosphere, material transport, and the geological evolution of planets. By combining field geological observation with methods from petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry, as well as numerical simulation and experiments, the lab aims to understand a wide range of geological processes, not only those on Earth. It is a new lab, established in December 2024 in the Geoenvironmental Sciences Division of the Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University. The lab welcomes students, postdoctoral researchers, and collaborators from around the world.

The Geomorphology and Physical Geography Lab studies how various landforms, such as coasts, rivers, slopes, and tectonic landforms, have formed. Using a range of methods, including geomorphology, Quaternary geology, and geophysics, the lab clarifies the developmental history and formation processes of landforms. Through this basic research, the lab also works on determining when past earthquakes occurred on active faults and on investigating shallow structures a few kilometers underground. The lab has close ties with the Terrestrial Seismology and Volcanology research division at the International Research Institute of Disaster Science, Tohoku University, and holds lab seminars and conducts research together with it.

The Human Geography Lab studies geographic disparities in health, food production and purchasing in Mongolia, and methods of geographic information science. Using cartographic techniques and spatial statistics, the lab investigates the relationships between society and space that underlie regional differences. The lab respects student independence: for bachelor's and master's theses, students pursue research on themes they choose themselves. The lab works jointly with the Environmental Geography group (Nakaya Lab) in the Graduate School of Environmental Studies.
