Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for The University of Texas at Austin Department of Molecular Biosciences is a 61-PI network with 77 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (49% of slots across 50 PIs; 50 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (33% of slots across 44 PIs; 44 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (8% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The leading PI names are Andrew D. Ellington (19 weighted works; CRISPR and Genetic Engineering, Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques); Stephen F. Martin (16.8 weighted works; Synthetic Organic Chemistry Methods, Alkaloids: synthesis and pharmacology). The clearest collaboration lines are Kenneth A. Johnson and Tyler L. Dangerfield (6 shared works, weight 4.2); George Georgiou and Everett Stone (16 shared works, weight 3.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 16.6, around Molecular Biology, Structural Biology, Genetics, led by Kenneth A. Johnson, David W. Taylor, Edward M. Marcotte.
