Report summary

Stanford University Department of Biology in 2021-2023 reads as a 70-PI network with 50 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (30% of slots across 39 PIs; 39 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), and Evolution and Genetic Dynamics as the leading topic (2% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The leading PI names are Marcus W. Feldman (14.3 weighted works; Evolutionary Game Theory and Cooperation, Language and cultural evolution); Scott J. Dixon (13.2 weighted works; Ferroptosis and cancer prognosis, RNA modifications and cancer). The most visible ties are Matthew P. Swaffer and Jan M. Skotheim (5 shared works, weight 3.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 10.6, around Global and Planetary Change, Genetics, Ecology, led by Deborah M. Gordon, Fiorenza Micheli, Erin A. Mordecai; group 2 with 8 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 7.5, around Cell Biology, Aging, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, led by Liqun Luo, Kang Shen, Christine Jacobs‐Wagner.
