Report summary

Columbia University Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 27-PI network with 18 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (36% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), and 3D Printing in Biomedical Research as the leading topic (5% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Elisa E. Konofagou (30.2 weighted works; Ultrasound and Hyperthermia Applications, Ultrasound Imaging and Elastography); Gordana Vunjak‐Novakovic (25.3 weighted works; 3D Printing in Biomedical Research, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine). The strongest pairings are Gerard A. Ateshian and Clark T. Hung (20 shared works, weight 10.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 13 internal connections, weight 22.5, around Surgery, Biomedical Engineering, Rheumatology, led by Elisa E. Konofagou, Gordana Vunjak‐Novakovic, Gerard A. Ateshian.
