Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Purdue University West Lafayette Department of Biochemistry is a 18-PI network with 12 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (42% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (33% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Advanced Proteomics Techniques and Applications as the leading topic (4% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Scott Briggs (18.3 weighted works; Antifungal resistance and susceptibility, Fungal Infections and Studies); W. Andy Tao (15.4 weighted works; Extracellular vesicles in disease, Advanced Proteomics Techniques and Applications). The clearest collaboration lines are Hana Hall and Vikki M. Weake (4 shared works, weight 2.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 5.1, around Molecular Biology, Infectious Diseases, Spectroscopy, led by Scott Briggs, W. Andy Tao, Majid Kazemian.
