Report summary

Northwestern University Department of Pathology in 2015-2017 reads as a 41-PI network with 22 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (46% of slots across 36 PIs; 36 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Research as the leading topic (3% 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 William A. Müller (12 weighted works; Cell Adhesion Molecules Research, Ion Channels and Receptors); Chad A. Purnell (11.8 weighted works; Global Health and Surgery, Cleft Lip and Palate Research). The strongest pairings are Chad A. Purnell and Gregory A. Dumanian (6 shared works, weight 4.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 7.1, around Immunology, Molecular Biology, Immunology and Allergy, led by William A. Müller, Deyu Fang, Ronen Sumagin.
