Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Boston University Department of Biochemistry is a 22-PI network with 17 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (50% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (33% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and Glycosylation and Glycoproteins Research as the leading topic (6% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). The specialization is notable and potentially attractive, with the caveat that adjacent fields may have fewer local peers. The leading PI names are Joseph Zaia (12.3 weighted works; Glycosylation and Glycoproteins Research, Advanced Proteomics Techniques and Applications); Andrew Emili (11.7 weighted works; Bioinformatics and Genomic Networks, Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry Studies). The clearest collaboration lines are Joseph Zaia and Manveen K. Sethi (4 shared works, weight 2.6); Miguél L. Batista and Stephen R. Farmer (3 shared works, weight 2.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 8.9, around Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, Immunology, led by Andrew Emili, Joseph P. Mizgerd, Mohsan Saeed.
