The Food Functional Chemistry Lab studies the structure and function of the functional components contained in food. The lab also develops enzyme preparations for manufacturing functional-component products through biological conversion processes. Its work covers enzyme engineering, enzymatic conversion engineering, glycotechnology, protein engineering, and microbial conversion technologies. The lab belongs to the Applied Life Chemistry course in the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences.

The Molecular Developmental Regulation Lab studies how gene transcription and translation are regulated during the formation of gametes such as sperm and eggs. It identifies regulatory factors involved in fertilization, egg activation, and the subsequent early embryonic development, and investigates how they function. The lab also works on developing next-generation reproductive and developmental technologies.

The Microbial Functions and Applications Lab studies the functions of microbes, interactions between microbes, and biofilms, which are formed by microbes gathering together. The lab also conducts research on using oil- and fat-metabolizing microbes to produce biosurfactants, which are expected to be used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It has developed its own microscopy-based observation system and uses it to investigate the functions of biofilms and how they form. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nobuhiko Nomura Lab."

The Stress Adaptation Microbiology Lab conducts basic and applied research on the functions of microorganisms. The lab studies filamentous fungi (molds), a group that includes pathogens of animals and plants, antibiotic-producing microbes, and many species used in brewing and fermentation. It also investigates enzymes from microorganisms that carry out novel reactions. As an application of the knowledge gained from this research, the lab also works on biorefinery research.

The Industrial Microbial Resources Lab studies the search for and use of useful microorganisms. Examples of its research include plastic degradation, microbial conversion of oil- and fat-based biomass, and methanotrophs. The lab also studies the mechanisms by which fungi adapt to their environment and form their shapes, the production of useful substances using new microorganisms and enzymes, and novel bacterial metabolism and group behavior. The lab's faculty member is Professor Toshiaki Nakajima.

The Bioprocess Engineering Lab studies how to establish sustainable agriculture, forestry, and fisheries using biotechnology methods. In the college's faculty list, it appears as "Bioprocess Engineering," one of the research fields of the Applied Life Chemistry course.
Sosaku Ichikawa, Professor

The Bioreaction Engineering Lab is the lab of Professor Sosaku Ichikawa and Associate Professor Hidehiko Hirakawa. The lab's website, presented as Associate Professor Hirakawa's Hirakawa Lab, describes research that combines multiple enzymes and proteins to bring out new functions. Because multiple enzymes work together inside living organisms, the lab believes that combining enzymes can bring out even more of their power. For graduation research, the lab accepts students from the Applied Life Chemistry Course of the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences.

The Cell Function Development Engineering Lab studies the functions of microbial cells, photosynthetic cells, and plant cells from the standpoint of cell culture engineering. The lab works on expanding functions that cells already show and on developing functions that have not yet been brought out, aiming to use them for producing useful substances, environmental remediation, and more. Motivated by the problem that humans use only a small fraction of microorganisms, the lab works on developing new ways to use them.
Kazuyoshi Ogawa, Assistant Professor

The Biomimetic Chemistry Lab works in polymer chemistry, listing polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles, and stimuli-responsive gels as research keywords. In the college's list of research fields and faculty, Assistant Professor Kazuyoshi Ogawa is listed under the "Biomimetic Chemistry" field of the Applied Life Chemistry Course. Assistant Professor Ogawa's research field is given as biochemical engineering in the university's faculty introduction and as polymer chemistry in the researcher directory.
Akira Nakamura, Professor

The Environmental Molecular Microbiology Lab focuses on cell growth and studies the operating principles of cells. The lab views cells as complex systems shaped by both genetic and environmental factors, and also develops foundational technologies related to cell growth. By combining biological experiments such as cell culture with computational methods such as machine learning, the lab comprehensively and quantitatively analyzes cells from genotype to phenotype. The lab's website is presented under the name "Ying Lab."
