Report summary

Texas A&m University Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences in 2015-2026 reads as a 53-PI network with 81 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (27% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 18 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Guoyao Wu (77.9 weighted works; Muscle metabolism and nutrition, Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth); Ivan Rusyn (77.8 weighted works; Carcinogens and Genotoxicity Assessment, Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact). The strongest pairings are Ivan Rusyn and Weihsueh A. Chiu (87 shared works, weight 42.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 82.5, around Cancer Research, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Pathology and Forensic Medicine, led by Ivan Rusyn, Weihsueh A. Chiu, David W. Threadgill; group 2 with 7 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 18.5, around Genetics, Plant Science, Microbiology, led by Leif Andersson, Terje Raudsepp, William J. Murphy.
