Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for Emory University Department of Biochemistry is a 17-PI network with 12 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (53% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (42% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels), and RNA Research and Splicing as the leading topic (10% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). The specialization is notable and potentially attractive, with the caveat that adjacent fields may have fewer local peers. The top weighted PIs are Xiaodong Cheng (12.2 weighted works; Epigenetics and DNA Methylation, Cancer-related gene regulation). The strongest pairings are Anita H. Corbett and Paul W. Doetsch (4 shared works, weight 2.2). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 7.8, around Molecular Biology, Physiology, Oncology, led by Richard Kahn, Nicholas T. Seyfried, Anita H. Corbett.
