Report summary

For Columbia University Department of Biological Sciences in 2021-2023, the graph shows 36 visible PIs and 11 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (33% of slots across 24 PIs; 24 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Brent R. Stockwell (8.9 weighted works; Ferroptosis and cancer prognosis, Cancer, Lipids, and Metabolism). The clearest collaboration lines are Oliver Hobert and Surojit Sural (2 shared works, weight 1.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 4.1, around Molecular Biology, Aging, Education, led by Oliver Hobert, Liang Tong, James L. Manley.
