Report summary

Michigan State University Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 2015-2026 reads as a 100-PI network with 152 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (43% of slots across 83 PIs; 83 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (31% of slots across 71 PIs; 71 labels), and Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms as the leading topic (6% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 25 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Guo‐Wei Wei (100.9 weighted works; Computational Drug Discovery Methods, Protein Structure and Dynamics). The most visible ties are Rance Nault and Tim Zacharewski (25 shared works, weight 15.6); Robert P. Hausinger and Jian Hu (30 shared works, weight 14.3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 26.8, around Molecular Biology, Computational Theory and Mathematics, Materials Chemistry, led by Guo‐Wei Wei, Kenneth M. Merz, Robert P. Hausinger; group 2 with 9 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 21.7, around Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Plant Science, led by Robert L. Last, A. Daniel Jones, Robert A. Quinn.
