The lab explores plant productivity by studying parasitic plants and how plants respond to nutrients.

Irving Lab studies how plants interact with their biotic and abiotic environments, using ecophysiological approaches. Various stresses, such as drought, nutrient deficiency, disease, and parasites, limit plant productivity. The research falls into three themes: plant parasitism, regulation of growth under resource-limited conditions, and seed germination and establishment.

A lab that studies technologies for regenerative medicine and drug discovery support using human iPS cells and somatic stem cells.

Prof. Ito's lab studies foundational technologies that support regenerative medicine, using human iPS cells and somatic stem cells. Its research topics include technologies for quality control, large-scale culture, and induction of differentiation of stem cells and other cells, as well as technologies for drug discovery support that draw on knowledge from regenerative medicine. The lab also lists developmental biology among its research topics, using model organisms to clarify the mechanisms by which various organs form and regenerate. Prof. Ito is listed as a faculty member in a research field of the graduate school's Degree Programs in Biology and Biological Resource Sciences (Master's program) and Life Science Innovation (Doctoral program).

A lab that studies taxonomy, phylogeny, and conservation genetics, focusing on reptiles.

Prof. Honda's lab studies taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, and conservation genetics of organisms, focusing on reptiles. Its research topics include reptile taxonomy based on morphological data, molecular phylogenetics and biogeography of reptiles and birds, and conservation genetics of reptiles and amphibians. In collaboration with researchers at other universities, the lab has studied how the Okinawan tree lizard, a domestic non-native species in Japan, affects native ecosystems in areas where it has expanded its range. Prof. Honda is listed as a faculty member in the Systematics and Evolution field of the graduate school's Degree Program in Biology (Master's and Doctoral programs).
