Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology is a 35-PI network with 25 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (24% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are Jing Li (43.1 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications). The strongest pairings are M. Greenblatt and G. Charles Dismukes (4 shared works, weight 2.2); Catherine L. Lawson and Helen M. Berman (3 shared works, weight 2.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 8.7, around Molecular Biology, Materials Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, led by Jing Li, Ki‐Bum Lee, S.K. Burley; group 2 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 7.2, around Molecular Biology, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Neurology, led by Darrin M. York, M. Greenblatt, G. Charles Dismukes.
