Together with the Department of Nephrology and Hypertension at Tohoku University Hospital, the lab provides clinical care and conducts research on kidney disease and hypertension. In clinical care, it covers acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, nephritis, and nephrotic syndrome, as well as everything from the diagnosis of urinalysis abnormalities to dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation. In research, it aims to clarify the pathophysiology of kidney and hypertensive diseases and to develop diagnostic and treatment methods. The clinical department originated from the Second Department of Internal Medicine, which once combined hematology and immunology with nephrology, hypertension, and endocrinology.

The Disaster Medical Informatics lab studies medical information systems that are useful in times of disaster. The lab builds the systems needed at each stage of a disaster, and also works on backing up medical information and making use of the data. The lab considers information technology a means rather than an end, and also values integrating it with, and improving, what is in use today, such as paper. The lab belongs to the Disaster Medical Science Division of the International Research Institute of Disaster Science.

The Biobank Life Science lab belongs to the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization and conducts research on the construction and management of biobanks. The biobank it works with is a large-scale, population-based biobank that collects samples from the general population, linked to the Organization's community health survey (cohort study). It collects and stores biological samples such as plasma and urine from donors who have consented to participate in research, linked to anonymized health information. Because high-quality research requires high-quality samples and information, the lab studies topics such as optimizing the management of biological samples and data.

The Medical Data Science lab uses large-scale observational data to tackle a wide range of problems in medicine and healthcare. Newly established in 2026, the lab traces its origins to the chair of Hospital Administration, the first of its kind established in Japan, in fiscal 1952 (Showa 27). The data it uses include registries such as the National Clinical Database and insurance claims databases. The lab also works on the social implementation of its research results, using databases and data-driven methods.

The AI Frontier Medical Innovation lab studies how to estimate disease risk from large-scale data on the genome and lifestyle. The lab applies statistical methods, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and theories of genetics and genomic science to medical and genomic information collected in genome cohorts, biobanks, and medical institutions in Japan and abroad. Recently, the lab has also focused on applying large language models to electronic medical records and on research into genomic language models. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Risk Statistical Analysis Room."

The Tumor Biology lab focuses its research on the function of BRCA1, the product of the gene responsible for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. Among BRCA1's functions, the lab studies in particular its roles in centrosome regulation and in homologous recombination repair, which fixes DNA damage. The lab aims to develop cancer treatments that target the centrosome and to apply measurement of homologous recombination repair to diagnosis. The lab's PhD students belong to the Graduate School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Life Sciences.
