The Pediatric Environmental Medicine Lab conducts research on the relationship between the environment and children's health, in the fields of hygiene and public health. Using data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study (the Ecochil Study), the lab has published papers examining the association of exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, and other substances during pregnancy with the course of pregnancy and children's development. Other topics include changes in children who take part in long-term camps and the exposures that preterm infants receive in medical settings.

The Molecular Environmental Physiology Lab does research in environmental physiology and pathological biochemistry, with oxidative stress and biological defense as its research keywords. Focusing on p62, a selective substrate of autophagy, the lab investigates how its localization inside cells is controlled, how it moves, and what it does. Functional analysis of genes that respond to oxidative stress is also an ongoing research theme. What kinds of disease conditions abnormalities in p62 cause is also a subject of study.

The Environmental Health (Industrial Psychiatry and Space Medicine) Lab studies the mental health of astronauts and people who work in special environments. The lab conducts closed-environment experiments that simulate spaceflight, as well as surveys of workers. It also works on using artificial intelligence to predict workers' psychological burden, and on testing stress management that makes use of the natural environment. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Industrial Psychiatry and Space Medicine Group."

The Integrative Health Information Lab (Ohniwa Lab) conducts research under the main theme of "integrative studies of health information." Among health-related issues, it takes on those that cut across disciplines or cannot be tied to any existing field, approaching them without being bound by discipline, method, or standpoint. The lab aims to create prototype products, practices, and concepts, and to put to society methodologies that lead to problem solving and value creation. Its activities take place in the College of Medical Sciences, the Global Issues Degree Program, and the International Joint Degree Program in Food and Health Sciences, among others.

The Forensic Medicine Lab integrates knowledge from pathology, toxicology, law, and other fields to conduct research that supports appropriate forensic examinations. As a contribution to society, the lab performs forensic autopsies and strives to present scientific evidence in criminal investigations, forensic identification work, and in court. Its main research areas are genetic traits relevant to forensic medicine, the metabolism of drugs and poisons and the mechanisms of poisoning, and medical law and the history of forensic medicine.

The Medical Education Lab supports students and faculty and staff of the Faculty of Medicine on the English-language side so that they can communicate their research in English. Its support includes English editing of manuscripts, slides, and posters, and rehearsals for oral presentations. The lab offers English conversation opportunities for faculty, and also keeps biomedical dictionaries and books on writing scientific papers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name Medical English Communications Center (MECC).

The Nephrology Lab is working to create new technologies that stop the progression of kidney disease at its root. Through translational research that runs consistently from basic science to clinical practice, the lab aims for a future in which patients do not need to start dialysis. As the nephrology department of the University of Tsukuba Hospital, the lab provides clinical care and also trains residents who aim to become board-certified nephrologists.
Isao Matsumoto, Professor

The lab aims to elucidate the causes and pathology of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, IgG4-related disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. By combining analyses of patients' valuable blood and diseased tissue with validation in model mice, the lab can work toward identifying new disease-related molecules and therapeutic targets. Ultimately, the lab is exploring the development of treatments aimed at curing autoimmune diseases. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and the lab actively welcomes visits from students at other universities.

The Hematology Lab studies the mechanisms underlying hematologic cancers such as malignant lymphoma, as well as diseases that arise with aging. Believing that cancer cells are shaped through their interactions with the surrounding microenvironment, the lab investigates them by combining single-cell analysis, spatial omics analysis, and genomic analysis. The lab is attached to a clinical department, and by analyzing patient cohorts, it aims to develop new diagnostics and treatments as well as prevention and preemptive medicine. Lab visits are accepted at any time.

The Department of Gastroenterology treats diseases of a wide range of organs, from the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine to the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Clinical care is divided into the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary-pancreatic, and chemotherapy divisions, and the latest treatments are provided under the leadership of the supervising physicians of each division. On research, the professor's message of January 2022 states the aim of clearly defining problems faced in everyday clinical practice as research questions and producing results that lead to the development of new treatments. On education, it states that teams including students and residents think through the problems of patients and diseases together, and are guided all the way through how to solve them.
