Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Purdue University West Lafayette Department of Biological Sciences is a 48-PI network with 32 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (32% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Bacteriophages and microbial interactions as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Daisuke Kihara (19.3 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, Enzyme Structure and Function). The clearest collaboration lines are Richard Kühn and Thomas Klose (8 shared works, weight 3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 15, around Molecular Biology, Ecology, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, led by Daisuke Kihara, J.J.G. Tesmer, Richard Kühn.
