Report summary

Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology in 2024-2026 reads as a 34-PI network with 14 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (21% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is of concern for a 34-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Ki‐Bum Lee (17.1 weighted works; Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques, 3D Printing in Biomedical Research); Jing Li (16 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications). The most visible ties are Ki‐Bum Lee and Letao Yang (4 shared works, weight 2.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 3.7, around Molecular Biology, Pharmaceutical Science, Materials Chemistry, led by Darrin M. York, Lu Wang, N. Sanjeeva Murthy.
