Report summary

Stanford University Department of Bioengineering in 2016-2026 reads as a 116-PI network with 239 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (26% of slots across 55 PIs; 55 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 43 PIs; 43 labels), and CRISPR and Genetic Engineering as the leading topic (3% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 28 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Y. Joseph Woo (103.6 weighted works; Cardiac Structural Anomalies and Repair, Cardiac Valve Diseases and Treatments); Stuart B. Goodman (100 weighted works; Orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty, Mesenchymal stem cell research). The strongest pairings are Wah Chiu and Grigore Pintilie (37 shared works, weight 14.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 30.6, around Biomedical Engineering, Surgery, Molecular Biology, led by Y. Joseph Woo, Stuart B. Goodman, Eric A. Appel; group 2 with 10 PIs, 14 internal connections, weight 81, around Biomedical Engineering, Surgery, Rheumatology, led by Ellen Kuhl, Scott L. Delp, Akshay Chaudhari.
