Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Northwestern University Department of Molecular Biosciences is a 22-PI network with 7 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (54% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (35% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms as the leading topic (6% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The top weighted PIs are Neil L. Kelleher (23.8 weighted works; Advanced Proteomics Techniques and Applications, Mass Spectrometry Techniques and Applications); Erik C. Andersen (17.7 weighted works; Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms, Parasite Biology and Host Interactions). The strongest pairings are Ryan T. Fellers and Neil L. Kelleher (11 shared works, weight 3.8). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 7.2, around Molecular Biology, Spectroscopy, Aging, led by Neil L. Kelleher, Yuan He, Ishwar Radhakrishnan.
