Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for Harvard University Department of Genetics is a 84-PI network with 57 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (46% of slots across 70 PIs; 70 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (29% of slots across 57 PIs; 57 labels), and CRISPR and Genetic Engineering as the leading topic (5% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are George M. Church (23.5 weighted works; CRISPR and Genetic Engineering, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms); Norbert Perrimon (21.5 weighted works; Invertebrate Immune Response Mechanisms, CRISPR and Genetic Engineering). The strongest pairings are Tobias C. Walther and Robert V. Farese (18 shared works, weight 9). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 11.6, around Molecular Biology, Immunology, Clinical Biochemistry, led by Norbert Perrimon, Deborah T. Hung, Michael J. Mina; group 2 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 7.1, around Molecular Biology, Physiology, Aging, led by Rudolph E. Tanzi, Gary Ruvkun, Ruslan I. Sadreyev.
