We present an overview of recent developments and experimental studies on astrophysical topics at CRIB. Many experiments on the interests of nuclear structure and astrophysics have been performed at CRIB, forming international collaborations. %A summary of recent experimental projects at CRIB is presented. A striking method to study nuclear resonances in unstable nuclei is the proton/alpha resonant scattering with the thick target method in inverse kinematics. Many measurements have been performed at CRIB \cite{Yam1,He,Yam2}, mainly to study properties of resonances which may affect astrophysical reaction rates. The latest application of that method is the proton resonant scattering on an isomer-enriched $^{26}$Al RI beam, to study the destruction process of $^{26}$Al, which may reduce the production rate of cosmic $^{26}$Al $\gamma$-rays. The thick target method is also applied for the direct measurements of astrophysical ($\alpha$, $p$) reactions \cite{Kim, Hay}. Indirect measurements of relevant astrophysical reactions have also been performed at CRIB. The world's first application of the Trojan horse method with an RI beam was performed to determine the astrophysical $^{18}$F($p$,$\alpha$) reaction rate. Measuring quasi-free $^{18}$F($d$, $n \alpha$) reaction, the low-temperature $^{18}$F($p$, $\alpha$) reaction S-factor was experimentally determined for the first time \cite{Che}. Another recent Trojan-horse measurement at CRIB was to determine $^7$Be($n$, $p$) and ($n$, $\alpha$) reaction rates, which can be relevant for the cosmological $^7$Li abundance problem. \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{Yam1} H.
