Report summary

Duke University Department of Pediatrics in 2024-2026 reads as a 39-PI network with 14 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Medicine as the leading field (40% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (8% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Adolescent and Pediatric Healthcare as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is of concern for a 39-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Matthew S. Kelly (7.8 weighted works; Pneumonia and Respiratory Infections, Gut microbiota and health). The most visible ties are John W. Sleasman and Talal Mousallem (2 shared works, weight 1.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 3.8, around Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Nutrition and Dietetics, Sociology and Political Science, led by Monica E. Lemmon, Noelle Younge, Victoria Parente.
