Report summary

The 2018-2026 picture for Harvard University Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology is a 77-PI network with 51 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (37% of slots across 52 PIs; 52 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 42 PIs; 42 labels), and Retinal Development and Disorders as the leading topic (3% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 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 (23.5 weighted works; Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation, Animal Behavior and Reproduction). The clearest collaboration lines are Corey AH Allard and Nicholas W. Bellono (10 shared works, weight 6.8); Doeke R. Hekstra and Kevin M. Dalton (11 shared works, weight 6.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 10.5, 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 14.6, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, led by Takao K. Hensch, Jeff W. Lichtman, Florian Engert.
