The Developmental Support Nursing Lab explores nursing that supports the development of children and their families, and aims to establish developmental support nursing as a field. Its research includes empowerment of families raising children with developmental disorders or children with severe illness who receive home care, as well as the difficulties encountered in pediatric care settings, preparation and distraction for children, and transition. For graduate students, the lab recruits people who want to reflect academically on their clinical experience, and people who hope to become nursing researchers or nursing faculty members in the future. On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name "Wakimizu Lab."

The Community Health and Public Health Nursing Lab conducts research in a wide range of fields, including public health nursing, public health, community/home-care nursing, occupational health nursing, and school health. In addition to quantitative research such as cohort studies and cross-sectional studies, the lab also handles qualitative research and mixed methods research that integrates the two. Members with different specialties deepen their research through interdisciplinary discussion from their respective perspectives. The lab belongs to the Nursing Science Degree Program (master's and doctoral) in the Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences at the University of Tsukuba.

The Gerontological Caring Lab aims to develop human caring theory for people living in a super-aged, low-birthrate society, and to create health promotion programs. Targeting people and families at every stage of health, the lab studies the effects of caring provided by health, medical, and welfare professionals, as well as life support systems for preventing the need for long-term care. Members come from a variety of professions. The lab holds a lab seminar every Thursday at 6:00 p.m., where members choose a topic and discuss it. The page listing graduate students' research themes includes topics such as home care support for people with intractable diseases, dementia prevention, and disaster support.

Through research that integrates medicine, science, and engineering, the Nursing Science and Engineering and Women's Health Nursing Lab aims to make nursing visible and to verify evidence of its effectiveness and safety. Focusing on needs from clinical practice, such as "If only we had a tool like this, we could provide better care," the lab develops new technologies and creates new devices. In particular, the lab works on research that contributes to supporting the health of women and children. Because the lab's research leader is involved in nursing education and midwifery education, many members hold midwife qualifications, chose the midwifery course in graduate school, or are undergraduates who hope to become midwives in the future.

The Chronic Illness Care Coordination Nursing group studies nursing that supports people with illnesses they will live with for a long time, and their families. There are many kinds of target diseases, and as society ages, the period of living with illness is also becoming longer. Because health conditions have many stages, psychological and social support, and ethical consideration that respects the wishes of both patients and their families, are also essential. Working in multidisciplinary teams that include not only doctors and nurses, the group considers methods of support that also take collaboration with the community into account.

The Psychiatric Nursing Lab (Sugaya Lab) specializes in psychiatric nursing within the Global Health Nursing Lab. In addition to psychiatric nursing, the lab works on a variety of topics, including child and adolescent psychiatric nursing, nursing education, nursing ethics, forest therapy, and forest-based health care. There are opportunities for discussion with alumni and graduates, clinical nurses and physicians, psychiatric social workers, certified public psychologists, and people with lived experience who live in the community. The lab also takes part in World Mental Health Day in TSUKUBA and works together with people with lived experience on peer support activities.

The Global Health Nursing Lab addresses noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, health disparities, and environmental health issues from the standpoint of nursing. The lab believes that even when research is conducted in Japan, sharing the results with the world can contribute to the development of nursing both in Japan and abroad. Built on a foundation of nursing, it is an interdisciplinary lab that welcomes students who are interested in a wide range of academic fields beyond nursing. The lab also supports the healthcare course of the Japan Expert (Bachelor's) Program, a program for international undergraduate students.

The Systems Physiology Lab studies the neural mechanisms of adaptive behavior, that is, behaving appropriately as the environment changes. It aims to understand everything from sensory input to the generation of behavior as a single system. By studying Japanese macaques, whose brains are similar to those of humans, the lab also anticipates elucidating conditions in which adaptive behavior fails to function, such as psychiatric and neurological disorders. The lab investigates information-processing mechanisms by comparing behavioral tasks in humans and monkeys, recording monkey brain activity at millisecond resolution, and conducting experiments that selectively manipulate the activity of specific neural circuits.

The Life Systems Science Lab studies the essence of living systems using mathematical analysis techniques that combine artificial intelligence (AI) and systems biology. The lab views multicellular organisms such as humans as maintaining homeostasis through networks of cells, tissues, and organs, and regards the loss of this balance as the essence of disease. The lab uses mathematical models and deep learning to predict metabolism and to analyze data from a variety of diseases. The lab is new, having been established in January 2026.
