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.

As the cardiovascular surgery department of University of Tsukuba Hospital, the lab provides surgical treatment and clinical research for heart and blood vessel diseases and trains cardiovascular surgeons. As a core institution of a wide-area medical region centered on Ibaraki Prefecture, the lab handles every kind of cardiovascular surgical disease, from newborns to the very elderly, 24 hours a day. Research areas of the faculty are introduced as including biomechanical simulation of complex congenital heart disease and synchrotron radiation microangiography. The description of the clinical care system is based on a greeting message dated April 2023.

The Pediatric Surgery Lab (Pediatric Surgery, University of Tsukuba) treats surgical diseases in children and also works to clarify diseases whose causes are not yet understood. Among the diseases that pediatric surgery handles, many have unknown causes even when treatments are established, and the greeting message states that this is true of most congenital diseases. The research introduction page presents a collaborative study that investigates the cause of acute appendicitis in children through analysis of the microbiota. For medical students, the affiliated hospital accepts observation visits and clinical clerkships at any time, and it is stated that applicants' alma mater does not matter for joining the department.

The Gastrointestinal Surgery Lab conducts research with the dream of an era in which patients with gastrointestinal cancer no longer suffer, and an era in which diseases for which organ transplantation has meant giving up can be cured. Doing experiments while performing surgery can be a trial, but the lab regards its greatest advantage as an environment where members can collect fresh clinical specimens themselves and study them themselves. In collaboration with institutions such as the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), also in Tsukuba, the lab conducts basic cancer research using glycan analysis technology. Medical students are also welcome to observe and take part in surgery and clinical care as practical training.
