Report summary

For Columbia University Department of Biological Sciences in 2022-2026, the graph shows 45 visible PIs and 22 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (35% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 26 PIs; 26 labels), and Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The top weighted PIs are Brent R. Stockwell (13.1 weighted works; Ferroptosis and cancer prognosis, RNA modifications and cancer); Oliver Hobert (10.6 weighted works; Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms, Circadian rhythm and melatonin). The most visible ties are Oliver Hobert and Surojit Sural (5 shared works, weight 3.2). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 6, around Molecular Biology, Paleontology, Cognitive Neuroscience, led by Rafael Yuste, James L. Manley, Liang Tong.
