The work at the Unnatural Death Investigation Institute is pretty much the same every day. Although it operates under the title of a research institute, the daily tasks are not heavily related to research.
The primary focus of the Unnatural Death Investigation Institute is investigations rather than research. The main business they deal with every day involves forensic autopsies commissioned by police from various places or private investigative autopsies. In essence, it's all about working with corpses in various capacities.
However, while operating under the banner of a National Research Institute, there are actually only two forensic pathologists, Misumi Mikoto and the Nakado Department, and Tokairin Yuko is a clinical laboratory technician; she cannot act as the chief dissecting officer.
