Report summary

Stanford University Department of Radiation Oncology in 2024-2026 reads as a 31-PI network with 75 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (45% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Advanced Radiotherapy Techniques as the leading topic (10% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 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 most prominent PIs by weighted works are Nataliya Kovalchuk (11.8 weighted works; Advanced Radiotherapy Techniques, Effects of Radiation Exposure); Lei Xing (11.1 weighted works; Radiomics and Machine Learning in Medical Imaging, Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics). The strongest pairings are Nataliya Kovalchuk and Susan M. Hiniker (9 shared works, weight 5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 24.6, around Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Radiation, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, led by Nataliya Kovalchuk, Lei Xing, Billy W. Loo.
