The Clinical Research Promotion Group has the mission of promoting the development of new medical technologies. It promotes the practical application of innovative medical seeds created through collaborative research, and supports clinical trials from planning through to publication of papers while complying with regulatory requirements. Besides this support work, members also pursue their own research themes, including arrhythmia, cardiac regenerative medicine, Nrf2, ischemia, and obesity in the cardiovascular system, and drug therapy for gastrointestinal cancer. Member Takeshi Machino is also involved in medical entrepreneurship education (Research Studio) and the Tsukuba Cross-disciplinary Medical Seminar.

The lab conducts research and development aimed at realizing next-generation cancer immunotherapy that uses immune cells. It belongs to the Drug Discovery Support Research Division of the Transborder Medical Research Center. The lab studies immunotherapy using gene-modified immune cells, such as CAR-T cell therapy and TCR-T cell therapy, as well as immunotherapy using iPS cells. In addition to basic research, such as searching for new cancer treatment targets and analyzing how immune cells attack tumors, the lab also works on research into cell manufacturing aimed at clinical practice.

The lab works in a field that aims to relieve the suffering of patients with serious illness and their families, and to improve their quality of life. Its scope is not limited to cancer. It covers everyone with any serious illness, such as heart failure, respiratory failure, or kidney failure, and their families. The specialties of palliative care are relieving psychological and physical symptoms of suffering, and communicating with patients with serious illness and their families. The lab focuses on reflecting the results of clinical research in the care of the patients and families in front of them, and on training palliative care specialists.

The Hospital Clinical Research Group (Pathology Division) performs morphological diagnosis of all cells, tissues, and organs submitted from outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, and operating rooms at University of Tsukuba Hospital. Pathologists and cytopathologists diagnose tiny tissue fragments obtained by endoscopy and liquid specimens such as pleural effusion, ascites, and sputum, and communicate the results to clinicians. Together with the Diagnostic Radiology Division, the Pathology Division plays a role in keeping the hospital's diagnostic accuracy at a high level. The Pathology Division's page introduces the Tsukuba Human Tissue Diagnosis Center for diagnostic services provided outside the hospital, and the Basic Research Support Division of the Tsukuba Human Tissue Biobank Center for research support.

The Hospital Clinical Research Group (General Internal Medicine) is a clinical department that is not limited to any particular organ and responds broadly to the health problems patients have. From the specialized perspective of general medicine, it diagnoses and manages patients with common symptoms such as headache and fever, as well as patients with multiple health problems. In addition to care from an angle different from organ-based specialties, such as the smoking cessation clinic and the Kampo clinic, it provides support through counseling and medication prescriptions at the smoking cessation clinic and the alcohol reduction clinic as preventive medicine efforts. The University of Tsukuba Hospital website introduces it under the name "Department of General Medicine."

The Clinical Medical Management Department supports University of Tsukuba Hospital in providing good medical care. The department views hospital risk management on three levels (individual, organization, and hospital), and is involved in all three to make sure the measures at each level connect well and are carried out reliably. Besides educational activities on how team-based care should work, how to write medical records, and communication techniques, the department also works on finding error-prone procedures and planning measures to prevent errors. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Medical Safety Management Department.'

The Social Health Medicine Lab conducts research that uses epidemiology to identify the causes of lifestyle-related diseases such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, dementia, hypertension, and diabetes in communities and workplaces. The lab also uses existing data such as administrative data to understand community issues and evaluate health policies. It aims to return its research results to society in cooperation with local residents, local governments, and medical institutions, by making recommendations for municipal, prefectural, and national administrative policies and by putting the results into practice as health policies and preventive activities. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Social Health Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tsukuba.'
Takehiro Sugiyama, Project Professor

The Health Services Research Lab comprehensively and scientifically evaluates and analyzes the quality of medical services (including nursing, health, and welfare) using health services research methods. Through interdisciplinary research results based on empirical data, the lab aims to contribute to realizing health care that is in harmony with daily life. The lab examines issues not only from a medical perspective but also from the perspectives of policy studies, law, economics, sociology, and anthropology, and shares its results in Japan and abroad. Because Prof. Tamiya retired at the end of FY2025, graduate students entering from FY2026 who focus mainly on health services research will be accepted by Associate Professor Watanabe, Project Professor Sugiyama, and others, and supported by a team that includes assistant professors.
