Cardiovascular Medicine is a lab of the Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, providing clinical care built on three pillars, heart failure, arrhythmia, and coronary artery and structural heart disease, while also conducting research. It values advancing clinical research and basic research as the two wheels of a cart, and Prof. Ishizu personally has conducted clinical research using echocardiography and animal experiments. It is introduced that the young graduate students of Cardiovascular Medicine have a track record of publishing papers while interacting with other labs in the university. As an open lab, it accepts young physicians from across the country.

The Metabolism, Endocrinology and Diabetes Lab conducts research and clinical care on endocrine and metabolic diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Its strength is that it finds starting points for research in the care of patients, applies them to basic research, and can ultimately develop them into applied research that benefits patients. In basic research, each group investigates the functions of molecules involved in metabolism and endocrinology, including CtBP2, a molecule that senses metabolites. Undergraduate students can take part in research through lab practicums and the New Medical Sciences program, and graduate students through degree programs such as the Degree Programs in Medical Sciences.

The Neurology Lab belongs to the neurology field in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tsukuba, and studies the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of new therapeutic drugs. Its clinical department is called Neurology (noshinkei-naika in Japanese, literally "brain and nerve internal medicine"), and at the University Hospital it provides specialized care for REM sleep behavior disorder, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and myasthenia gravis. Its research covers both basic research that examines cellular mechanisms and clinical research that examines diagnostic and therapeutic methods. In the lab practicum for students in the College of Medicine, students collect and analyze data themselves, aiming to understand disease mechanisms and treatment.

The dermatology department works in the University of Tsukuba Hospital on clinical care, education, and research related to skin diseases. In research, the team of Professor Toshifumi Nomura focuses on hereditary skin diseases, and the team of Associate Professor Yoshiyuki Nakamura focuses mainly on skin tumors and hidradenitis suppurativa. In the greeting on its recruitment page for new department members, the department describes dermatology as a field in which clinical practice (macro) and research (micro) fit together logically. It aims to train dermatologists who excel in both clinical practice and science and who can explain diseases in their own words.

The lab conducts research on the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, adrenal tumors, and parathyroid tumors. Besides clinical research, it also conducts basic research on the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer and tumor metastasis. In its basic research, it works with the University of Tsukuba's immunology lab and clinical pathology lab on functional analysis of the immune system in carcinogenesis and functional analysis of pheochromocytoma. Its website also introduces its clinical services and the recruitment of resident physicians.

Plastic surgery at the University of Tsukuba treats diseases and injuries that affect appearance and function, mainly through surgery. The conditions it handles include congenital anomalies, wounds, scars, tumors of the body surface, and reconstruction after tumor removal. One of its features is the large number of reconstructions that use microsurgery. Its research covers scar treatment and burn treatment using stem cells, surgery for congenital anomalies of the hands and feet, and more.

As the thoracic surgery department of University of Tsukuba Hospital, the lab treats diseases of the lung, mediastinum, pleura, and chest wall, mainly by surgery. Its patients have a wide range of conditions, centered on lung cancer, and including metastatic lung tumors, mediastinal tumors such as thymoma, spontaneous pneumothorax, myasthenia gravis, empyema, hyperhidrosis, and chest trauma. The lab actively performs minimally invasive surgery using a thoracoscope and has also introduced robot-assisted surgery. Besides clinical care, the lab devotes effort to academic activities such as research, conference presentations, and paper publication, as well as to the education of medical students and residents.
