Report summary

For Boston University Department of Chemistry in 2021-2023, the graph shows 35 visible PIs and 27 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (24% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (18% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Applications as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). The network looks reasonably well-rounded, with visible collaboration groups but not so much concentration that one field explains the whole department. The top weighted PIs are Ji‐Xin Cheng (33 weighted works; Spectroscopy Techniques in Biomedical and Chemical Research, Photoacoustic and Ultrasonic Imaging); Mark W. Grinstaff (26.2 weighted works; biodegradable polymer synthesis and properties, Surgical Sutures and Adhesives). The most visible ties are Ji‐Xin Cheng and Chen Yang (7 shared works, weight 3.9). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 5.9, around Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry, Biomaterials, led by Mark W. Grinstaff, Björn M. Reinhard, Pinghua Liu; group 2 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 6.1, around Organic Chemistry, Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, led by Karen N. Allen, Aaron B. Beeler, Lauren E. Brown.
