Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for Johns Hopkins University Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is a 35-PI network with 29 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (32% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Cellular Mechanics and Interactions as the leading topic (6% 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 Jordan J. Green (22.4 weighted works; RNA Interference and Gene Delivery, Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques). The strongest pairings are Denis Wirtz and Pei-Hsun Wu (14 shared works, weight 6.8). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 16.6, around Oncology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, led by Honggang Cui, Denis Wirtz, Ben Ho Park; group 2 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 3.8, around Molecular Biology, Biomaterials, Biomedical Engineering, led by Jordan J. Green, Sharon Gerecht, Peter C. Searson.
