The Historical Geology and Paleontology Lab studies how organisms evolved and how the environment changed over the course of Earth's history. By interpreting the phylogeny, functional morphology, paleoecology, and paleoenvironments of organisms, the lab investigates the patterns of adaptive evolution and the changes in the living environment at the Earth's surface. The subjects differ by faculty member and include conodont paleontology, vertebrate evolution, and isotope analysis of sedimentary rocks. The lab is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution major of the College of Geoscience, where specialized research and education are carried out.

Through geological study of strata, the Stratigraphy Lab aims to read the chronological succession of phenomena that occurred at the Earth's surface and to clarify the mechanisms of global environmental change. The lab studies the history of subduction zones and continental margins from sedimentary rocks, and past earthquakes and tsunamis from strata. It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences major of the College of Geoscience. This major treats fieldwork as one of its key foundations and holds many field excursions.

The Earth Dynamics Lab analyzes the Earth's dynamic changes through geophysical big data analysis, field science, laboratory experiments, rheology, and the building of mathematical and analogue models. It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences major of the College of Geoscience. Faculty members study the earthquake generation processes in subduction zones and the formation of accretionary complexes, earthquake investigations using seismic waves and satellite data, and source process analysis using seismic waveform data. Graduation research topics include investigations of what happened during great earthquakes and studies of the relationship between rocks and fluids at subducting plate boundaries.

The Petrology Lab conducts research that clarifies the formation mechanisms of rocks and tectonics through rock field surveys and elemental and isotope analysis. Professor Toshiaki Tsunogae analyzes metamorphic rocks found in orogenic belts in India and Africa. Associate Professor Kei Ikehata analyzes the behavior of volatile and chalcophile elements in magma. Graduation research includes work on rocks from Antarctica and India.

The Mineralogy Lab decodes information about the Earth and the universe recorded in minerals, based on the results of physicochemical experiments on a wide variety of natural minerals. It is one of the fields in the Earth Evolution Sciences Major of the College of Earth Sciences at the University of Tsukuba. Examples of graduation research topics include ancient West Asian pottery, fluids of granitic origin, and glass inclusions in carbonaceous chondrites.

The Earth Resource Science Lab aims to understand, in a unified way and from a planetary science perspective, the concentration and dispersion of elements in the Earth system and changes in the environment of the biosphere. It is one of the fields established in the Earth Evolution Sciences Major of the College of Earth Sciences at the University of Tsukuba. The faculty's research areas are the analysis of paleoenvironmental change using sedimentary rocks and sediments, the history of life on Earth, and tectonics. Graduation research topics include mineralization of ore deposits in Mexico, oxygen isotope ratios of quartz from the Hishikari gold deposit, volcanic rocks around Lake Atacama in Chile, the K-Pg boundary layer, and stalagmites from a cave in Italy.

The Anatomy and Embryology Lab uses a variety of genetically modified mice to study the molecular mechanisms underlying life phenomena and the mechanisms by which diseases arise. The lab focuses on the Maf family of transcription factors and on the functions of macrophages, a type of immune cell, and investigates the mechanisms of development and differentiation, metabolism, and disease onset. It also works on the functions of glycans and on changes in gene expression in mice raised in space. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Takahashi Lab."

The Anatomy and Neuroscience Lab studies the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. The lab investigates everything from the small scale of molecules to the large scale of brain formation, aiming to lead to treatments and preventive measures. It focuses in particular on the intracellular transport system that carries materials inside neurons, and on the relationship between the immune system and the nervous system. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Takei Lab."

The Diagnostic Pathology Lab conducts research directly linked to clinical practice and studies molecules involved in the development and progression of cancer. With a pathologist's eye, the lab carefully observes cancer heterogeneity, background lesions, minute lesions, early lesions, and the process of progression. The lab proceeds with its analyses by comparing them against the genetic data of its many cancer cell lines, the tissue morphology of xenograft tumors, and drug sensitivity. In addition to research and clinical practice, the diagnostic pathology group engages in various activities, including the Tsukuba Human Tissue Diagnosis Center, which supports pathological diagnosis in the region.

The Molecular Pathology Lab clarifies abnormalities in cancer cells at the molecular level, aiming to establish methods to specifically damage cancer cells. The lab focuses on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), which is activated in many cancer tissues, and on induction of stemness, in which some cancer cells that have stopped proliferating acquire stem cell properties. Focusing on cancer stem cells that resist treatment as a cause of metastasis and recurrence after therapy, the lab is developing treatments that target the mechanism by which induction of stemness makes cancer stem cells increase rapidly. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Experimental Pathology Lab," and the content here is based on descriptions from around 2023.
