Report summary

Columbia University Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2022-2026 reads as a 53-PI network with 44 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (30% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Extracellular vesicles in disease as the leading topic (3% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 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 Kam W. Leong (27.2 weighted works; Nanoplatforms for cancer theranostics, RNA Interference and Gene Delivery). The strongest pairings are Gerard A. Ateshian and Clark T. Hung (14 shared works, weight 8.2). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 14 internal connections, weight 32.1, around Molecular Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Cancer Research, led by Kam W. Leong, Gordana Vunjak‐Novakovic, Tal Danino.
