Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Northwestern University Department of Biomedical Engineering is a 58-PI network with 50 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Medicine as the leading field (25% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), and Muscle activation and electromyography studies as the leading topic (5% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Chad A. Mirkin (64.3 weighted works; Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques, RNA Interference and Gene Delivery); John A. Rogers (62.6 weighted works; Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials, Neuroscience and Neural Engineering). The clearest collaboration lines are John A. Rogers and Shuai Xu (21 shared works, weight 11.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 31.4, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Biophysics, led by John A. Rogers, Hao F. Zhang, Evan A. Scott.
