Report summary

Harvard University Department of Biomedical Informatics in 2015-2017 reads as a 15-PI network with 16 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (39% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (24% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Biomedical Text Mining and Ontologies as the leading topic (9% 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 Chirag J. Patel (14 weighted works; Computational Drug Discovery Methods, Genetic Associations and Epidemiology). The strongest pairings are Isaac S. Kohane and Chirag J. Patel (6 shared works, weight 3.3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 14 internal connections, weight 18.8, around Molecular Biology, Information Systems and Management, Genetics, led by Chirag J. Patel, Kenneth D. Mandl, Isaac S. Kohane.
