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.

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.

The Respiratory Medicine Lab conducts a broad range of research, from basic to clinical, with the goal of overcoming all respiratory diseases. The main research targets are bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial pneumonia, lung cancer, and infectious diseases such as nontuberculous mycobacterial disease. It is a clinical department of the University of Tsukuba Hospital, with clinical care, education, and research as its pillars. In graduate school, the lab recruits graduate students and research students for the doctoral program of the Major in Disease Control Medicine, Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences.

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.
