Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for Duke University Department of Biomedical Engineering is a 70-PI network with 58 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (28% of slots across 40 PIs; 40 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), and Neural dynamics and brain function as the leading topic (3% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are Tony Jun Huang (37.4 weighted works; Microfluidic and Bio-sensing Technologies, Microfluidic and Capillary Electrophoresis Applications). The strongest pairings are Joseph A. Izatt and Anthony N. Kuo (27 shared works, weight 12.2); Cynthia A. Toth and Joseph A. Izatt (27 shared works, weight 11.3). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 7.1, around Molecular Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Genetics, led by John H. Sampson, Xiling Shen, Jennifer L. West.
