The Translational Science for Drug Discovery Lab is part of the Degree Program in Medical Sciences, Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences, at the University of Tsukuba, as a cooperative graduate school lab with Astellas Pharma Inc. The lab researches and develops new evaluation methods in drug discovery, such as in pathophysiology, toxicology, and biomimetic systems, and verifies their validity. Through this research, the lab aims to bridge basic research and clinical medicine and lead to the creation of new drugs.

The Cell and Molecular Engineering Lab is a cooperative graduate school lab of the Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences, Degree Program in Medical Sciences, at the University of Tsukuba, supervised by researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The supervisors are Prof. Kuno, Prof. Sumaru, and Prof. Tateno, who correspond to the Molecular and Cellular Multi-omics, Molecular Function Application, and Multicellular System Control research groups, respectively. The Sumaru group uses functional polymer materials to develop systems that efficiently capture cells and vesicles such as exosomes, as well as in vitro model systems that use human cells in place of animal experiments. The Tateno group studies the microbiota, cancer cells, stem cells, and more using multi-omics analysis technology that simultaneously measures glycans and RNA in each single cell.

The Molecular Drug Discovery Lab is a lab of the University of Tsukuba's partner graduate school program, based at Eisai Co., Ltd.'s Tsukuba Research Laboratories. The lab develops highly sensitive methods for measuring drug concentrations and biomarkers, which are indicators of the body's condition, for pharmaceuticals and candidate compounds. Using results from in vitro studies and studies with genetically modified animals, the lab investigates how drugs move through the body and how they are metabolized and excreted. This leads to "PK/PD prediction" of how drugs will behave and work in humans. The lab aims to establish evaluation systems using cells and other materials to predict drug toxicity and clarify its mechanisms.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Review Science is a field that studies the evaluation of benefit-risk balance in the regulatory review and approval of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and regenerative medicine products, as well as timely and appropriate safety measures. It is established as a partner graduate school field with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) within the Medical Sciences Degree Program of the Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences at the University of Tsukuba. The PMDA concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement with the University of Tsukuba in March 2016. The PMDA also has a partner graduate school agreement system, established in December 2009 to build collaborative relationships with academia.

The Drug Discovery and Infection Control Lab works toward controlling viral infectious diseases by clarifying how viruses infect and multiply, and by searching for molecules and mechanisms that can serve as drug discovery targets. The viruses studied center on human oncogenic viruses that cause chronic infection, and also include arthropod-borne viruses and zoonotic viruses with a risk of global pandemic, as well as highly pathogenic hemorrhagic fever viruses. According to the lab's introduction, as a core institution for infectious disease drug discovery in Japan, it also aims to create infectious disease control methods that solve social issues, through joint research with institutes, universities, and companies. The lab is located at the Japan Institute for Health Security (JIHS), and at the University of Tsukuba it is a partner graduate school lab of the Medical Sciences Degree Program in the Degree Programs in Comprehensive Human Sciences.

The Particle Physics Division is one of the research divisions of the Center for Computational Sciences, and it studies the strong force that acts on elementary particles. Studying the strong force is difficult with pencil and paper alone, so the lab uses numerical simulations of lattice QCD on supercomputers. Starting from the dynamics of quarks, the lab aims to derive the mass and interaction properties of the nucleon, a bound state of quarks. The lab also works on elucidating the phase structure of QCD, including the ultra-high-temperature state of the early universe and the high-density state inside neutron stars.

The Division of Quantum Condensed Matter uses large-scale computers to study a wide range of materials with different properties, including superconductors, insulators, and metals. By solving the Schrödinger equation, the fundamental equation of the microscopic world, the division explains and predicts the properties of materials and designs new materials with novel properties. The division treats materials as quantum many-body systems bound by Coulomb interactions, aiming to obtain knowledge that will underpin next-generation technologies. The division's page has links to the Yabana Group, Koizumi Lab, Tong Lab, and Hino-Maeshima Lab.

The Life Functions and Information field is part of the Division of Life Sciences at the Center for Computational Sciences. The field studies the mechanisms of biological functions carried out by functional biomacromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. The first approach investigates the dynamics and reaction mechanisms of functional biomacromolecules at the molecular, atomic, and electronic levels. The second approach investigates the interaction network systems of functional biomacromolecules at the level of biological information systems.
