Report summary

Texas A&m University Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in 2021-2023 reads as a 33-PI network with 15 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (32% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (22% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Bacteriophages and microbial interactions as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is of concern for a 33-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Dmitry Kurouski (70.5 weighted works; Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, Lipid Membrane Structure and Behavior). The strongest pairings are Libo Shan and Ping He (10 shared works, weight 4.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 2.1, around Molecular Biology, Plant Science, Genetics, led by Dmitry Kurouski, Bhimanagouda S. Patil, Jean‐Philippe Pellois; group 2 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 3.6, around Infectious Diseases, Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, led by Wenshe Ray Liu, Thomas D. Meek, Ardala Katzfuss.
