The Computational Molecular Science Lab is the only lab in Tohoku University's Department of Chemistry, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, that specializes in theoretical and computational chemistry. The lab does no experiments; it studies how molecules behave in solutions and at interfaces through theoretical calculations on computers. Using quantum chemistry, which solves the motion of electrons, and molecular simulation, which solves the motion of atoms and molecules, the lab investigates liquid interfaces at the molecular level. Because the research uses physics at the same level as in a physics department, students study it intensively after joining the lab.

The Organic Reaction Chemistry Lab designs catalysts that exploit the properties of organic molecules and metal complexes, and develops new methods for molecular transformation. The lab aims to realize reactions that selectively produce only the desired molecule, as well as asymmetric synthesis, which produces only one of a pair of enantiomers, while keeping environmental impact low. Its research leads to the creation of biologically active and functional substances. The lab belongs to the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science and the Department of Chemistry in the Graduate School of Science at Tohoku University.

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 Scanning Probe Measurement Technology Lab studies the relationship between atomic arrangement and electrical properties, mainly in two-dimensional layered materials such as molybdenum disulfide. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which can observe materials at the level of single atoms and molecules, the lab investigates how crystal defects and edge structures affect the way electric current flows. Building on these findings, the lab is developing highly sensitive molecular detection devices. The lab also works on controlling the adsorption and diffusion of molecules on surfaces at the nanoscale in order to manipulate chemical reactions.

The Nano Functional Materials Chemistry Lab (Kumigashira Lab) designs and controls the physical properties of oxides in order to develop new functional nanomaterials. The lab pursues its research by combining, at a high level, oxide molecular beam epitaxy for “making” and high-brilliance synchrotron radiation for “observing.” The lab is a research division of the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, Tohoku University, and is located on the Katahira Campus.

The Nano/Micro Analytical Chemistry Lab studies chemical phenomena that occur in tiny spaces on the scale of nanometers and micrometers, as well as analytical chemistry that makes use of those spaces. The lab fabricates its own experimental devices by microfabrication and handles minute amounts of liquid and tiny water droplets. Its work includes analyzing the process by which proteins form fibrils, bioanalysis using tiny water droplets, and developing portable analytical instruments. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name “Hibara Lab.”
