Report summary

Stanford University Department of Biology in 2015-2026 reads as a 119-PI network with 186 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (30% of slots across 69 PIs; 69 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 45 PIs; 45 labels), and Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies as the leading topic (2% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 29 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Marcus W. Feldman (48.9 weighted works; Evolutionary Game Theory and Cooperation, Evolution and Genetic Dynamics). The most visible ties are Giulio A. De Leo and Susanne H. Sokolow (47 shared works, weight 20.4). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 46, around Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Cell Biology, led by Liqun Luo, Kang Shen, Alice Y. Ting; group 2 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 35.4, around Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Nature and Landscape Conservation, led by Dmitri A. Petrov, Hunter B. Fraser, Geraldo Wilson Fernandes.
