Report summary

The 2020-2024 picture for Harvard University Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology is a 54-PI network with 29 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (37% of slots across 36 PIs; 36 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (25% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), and Retinal Development and Disorders as the leading topic (4% 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 top weighted PIs are Cassandra G. Extavour (13.6 weighted works; Animal Behavior and Reproduction, Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation). The strongest pairings are Corey AH Allard and Nicholas W. Bellono (9 shared works, weight 5.8). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 6.7, around Molecular Biology, Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, led by Andrew W. Murray, Hopi E. Hoekstra, Rachelle Gaudet; group 2 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 8.7, around Molecular Biology, Structural Biology, Cell Biology, led by Mark É. Czeisler, Jeff W. Lichtman, John E. Dowling.
