Report summary

Northwestern University Department of Molecular Biosciences in 2018-2020 reads as a 28-PI network with 9 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (51% of slots across 26 PIs; 26 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (33% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms as the leading topic (6% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is of concern for a 28-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Neil L. Kelleher (18.4 weighted works; Mass Spectrometry Techniques and Applications, Advanced Proteomics Techniques and Applications). The most visible ties are Paul M. Thomas and Neil L. Kelleher (24 shared works, weight 5.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 2.3, around Molecular Biology, Oncology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, led by John F. Marko, Thomas V. O’Halloran, Jessica E. Hornick.
