Report summary

Michigan State University Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in 2018-2020 reads as a 22-PI network with 15 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (28% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), and Genomics, phytochemicals, and oxidative stress as the leading topic (5% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jeremy W. Prokop (12.7 weighted works; SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research, Bioinformatics and Genomic Networks); Stephanie W. Watts (12.4 weighted works; Neurotransmitter Receptor Influence on Behavior, Adipokines, Inflammation, and Metabolic Diseases). The strongest pairings are Anne M. Dorrance and William F. Jackson (10 shared works, weight 5.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 19.1, around Molecular Biology, Oncology, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, led by Stephanie W. Watts, Karen T. Liby, Anne M. Dorrance.
