Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for Princeton University Department of Molecular Biology is a 50-PI network with 33 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (40% of slots across 36 PIs; 36 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (24% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), and Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics as the leading topic (4% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are Celeste M. Nelson (20.6 weighted works; Cellular Mechanics and Interactions, 3D Printing in Biomedical Research). The strongest pairings are Thomas J. Silhavy and Anna Konovalova (4 shared works, weight 4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 10.1, around Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, Cell Biology, led by Stanislav Y. Shvartsman, Ileana M. Cristea, Lynn W. Enquist; group 2 with 7 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 6.9, around Molecular Biology, Endocrinology, Genetics, led by Bonnie L. Bassler, Ned S. Wingreen, Mohammad R.
