Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for The University of Texas at Austin Department of Molecular Biosciences is a 61-PI network with 54 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (45% of slots across 51 PIs; 51 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (32% of slots across 44 PIs; 44 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (4% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Andrew D. Ellington (17.2 weighted works; Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques, Biosensors and Analytical Detection); Hal S. Alper (16.2 weighted works; Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction, Biofuel production and bioconversion). The clearest collaboration lines are Andrew D. Ellington and Sanchita Bhadra (10 shared works, weight 7.8). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 19.7, around Molecular Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Cell Biology, led by Andrew D. Ellington, Hal S. Alper, John B. Wallingford.
