Report summary

Princeton University Department of Molecular Biology in 2024-2026 reads as a 32-PI network with 39 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (39% of slots across 24 PIs; 24 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (25% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 19 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Joshua D. Rabinowitz (10.1 weighted works; Adenosine and Purinergic Signaling, Adipose Tissue and Metabolism). The strongest pairings are Aartjan J.W. te Velthuis and Cameron Myhrvold (5 shared works, weight 2.3); Aartjan J.W. te Velthuis and Karishma Bisht (3 shared works, weight 2.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 10.2, around Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, Genetics, led by Joshua D. Rabinowitz, Ileana M. Cristea, Yibin Kang; group 2 with 7 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 9.2, around Molecular Biology, Ecology, Genetics, led by Coleen T. Murphy, Ned S. Wingreen, Aartjan J.W. te Velthuis.
