Report summary

The 2015-2025 picture for Harvard University Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology is a 93-PI network with 78 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (38% of slots across 64 PIs; 64 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (24% of slots across 54 PIs; 54 labels), and Retinal Development and Disorders as the leading topic (3% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Cassandra G. Extavour (30.1 weighted works; Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation, Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior). The clearest collaboration lines are Mitsuko Watabe‐Uchida and Naoshige Uchida (16 shared works, weight 8.3); Joshua R. Sanes and Masahito Yamagata (14 shared works, weight 7.7). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 12.7, around Molecular Biology, Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, led by Rachelle Gaudet, Hopi E. Hoekstra, Andrew W. Murray; group 2 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 23.7, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biophysics, led by Jeff W. Lichtman, Kevin Eggan, Alexander F. Schier.
