The Regenerative Stem Cell Biology Lab uses human-derived stem cells to study the mechanisms of cell proliferation and differentiation and how cells respond to hypoxia. The lab works on the hypoxic response, tissue stem cells, cancer and stem cells, and retinal regeneration for glaucoma. It aims to apply its findings clinically and contribute to the advancement of regenerative medicine. The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Ohneda Lab."

The Stem Cell Therapy Lab is part of the Division of Biomedical Science, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba. The members page lists Professor Shigeru Chiba, Associate Professor Eiji Mizutani, and Assistant Professor Naoki Ohtsu as faculty. The lab is located in the Health and Medical Science Innovation Building at the University of Tsukuba in Tsukuba City.

The Regenerative Medicine field studies the mechanisms that determine the quantity and quality of skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle not only moves the body; it is also the body's largest organ for energy metabolism and an endocrine organ that exchanges signals with other tissues through the bloodstream. Through its research, the lab aims to develop ways to prevent and treat sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength with aging. The field belongs to the Space Medicine Division of the Transborder Medical Research Center at the University of Tsukuba.

The Laboratory Animal Science Lab carries the motto “Embryo Manipulation and Genetic Modification” and studies the production and analysis of genetically modified mice. It also develops software to examine the DNA of mice created by genome editing, and works on developmental research such as meiosis and the formation of the three germ layers in early embryos. The lab website lists its location as the Animal Experiment Building of the Laboratory Animal Resource Center at the University of Tsukuba (the website's information dates from around 2016).

The Chemical Biology and IT Drug Discovery Lab studies in silico drug discovery, which advances drug discovery through computer-based calculation. The lab uses both ligand-based methods, which rely on information about compounds, and structure-based methods, which rely on the 3D structure of the target protein. Using docking simulation, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and AI and machine learning, the lab works on supporting in silico drug discovery research and on developing a Hit to Lead system. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Hirokawa Lab."

The Bioinformatics Lab studies bioinformatics, which solves problems in medicine and biology through computers and large-scale data. Bioinformatics is the field that processes and analyzes large-scale life science data so that people can understand and interpret the behavior of living systems hidden in the data. The lab's website describes bioinformatics as something like a microscope or telescope for looking into data. The lab works both on developing technologies and on applied and collaborative research.

The Medical Mathematical Informatics Lab is a small, elite research group launched in December 2019 that takes on medical research through the power of mathematics and informatics. What the lab values most is "actually implementing systems and experiencing firsthand how society changes." With generative AI (LLMs) as a development partner, students can turn ideas into working systems even without programming experience, and they also learn the foundational knowledge of security and information infrastructure. Besides students in medicine and healthcare fields, the lab also welcomes students from other faculties, such as informatics and engineering, as teammates.

The Medical Physics Group studies technologies for treatment using radiation, as well as methods for measuring radiation dose. Its research themes include new proton therapy technologies, calculation of the dose distributions used in treatment planning, and the design of irradiation fields for neutron capture therapy. Each faculty member works on a different theme, such as measuring proton beam dose distributions, patient positioning, and research on brain metabolism.

The Applied Medical Physics Lab's website introduces "RaMSEP," an educational program that trains professionals who can respond to radiation disasters. The skills needed in a radiation disaster change over time. The program builds its training around the keyword "all phases," covering every phase from immediately after the disaster to the preparedness phase. Education rests on three pillars: undergraduate education, graduate education, and postgraduate lifelong education (a certificate program). In graduate school, a new research field, "Radiation Health Risk Science," has been established, and doctoral students receive research supervision.
Yoshitaka Matsumoto, Associate Professor

The Radiation Biology Lab conducts research to enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment that uses radiation. It works on boron drugs used in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), and on treatments that combine radiation with nanofiber meshes that release drugs gradually. The lab is also involved in research on models of cell survival in particle therapy combined with hyperthermia.
