Report summary

Texas A&m University Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2024-2026 reads as a 45-PI network with 42 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (31% of slots across 30 PIs; 30 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (22% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), and Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 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 Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato (16.2 weighted works; Photodynamic Therapy Research Studies, Quantum many-body systems); Akhilesh K. Gaharwar (14.9 weighted works; 3D Printing in Biomedical Research, Bone Tissue Engineering Materials). The strongest pairings are Samuel Mabbott and Gerard L. Coté (11 shared works, weight 5.6); Samuel Mabbott and Masoud Negahdary (6 shared works, weight 4.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 14.9, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, led by Samuel Mabbott, Hatice Ceylan Koydemir, Masoud Negahdary.
