Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Pennsylvania State University Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is a 119-PI network with 213 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (38% of slots across 85 PIs; 85 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (26% of slots across 72 PIs; 72 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (4% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Thomas K. Wood (56.1 weighted works; Bacterial Genetics and Biotechnology, Bacteriophages and microbial interactions). The strongest pairings are George‐Lucian Moldovan and Claudia M. Nicolae (35 shared works, weight 17). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 21, around Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, led by Donald A. Bryant, Philip C. Bevilacqua, Scott E. Lindner; group 2 with 10 PIs, 17 internal connections, weight 74.8, around Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Molecular Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, led by Squire J. Booker, Xin Zhang, J. Martin Bollinger.
