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.

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.

The lab studies how "brain aging," the decline in brain function that occurs with age, is involved in lifespan. In particular, it aims to clarify the role of the hypothalamus, a region of the brain, by investigating it from the molecular level to the tissue level. The lab also works with experts in epidemiology, clinical medicine, and mathematical modeling to develop new ways to extend healthy life expectancy in humans. The lab is one of the research divisions of the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer.

The lab works on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, based at the Disease Control and Prevention Center (DCC) of the Japan Institute for Health Security. In infectious diseases, the scope extends beyond diagnosis and treatment of individual diseases to prevention and public health measures. The main research themes include diagnosis using genomic methods, treatment and prevention, infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, and the clinical epidemiology of imported infectious diseases. The DCC states that, through clinical care, human resource development, information dissemination, and research and development, it contributes to building a society and a country that are not defeated by the threats and impacts of infectious diseases.
