Report summary

For The University of Texas at Austin Department of Molecular Biosciences in 2024-2026, the graph shows 55 visible PIs and 38 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (48% of slots across 48 PIs; 48 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (33% of slots across 41 PIs; 41 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (5% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels). The network looks reasonably well-rounded, with visible collaboration groups but not so much concentration that one field explains the whole department. The top weighted PIs are Lydia M. Contreras (10.7 weighted works; RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms, Bacterial Genetics and Biotechnology). The most visible ties are Andrew D. Ellington and Elizabeth C. Gardner (3 shared works, weight 1.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 11.5, around Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, led by Hal S. Alper, Andrew D. Ellington, Yan Zhang; group 2 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 5.4, around Molecular Biology, Oncology, Immunology, led by Ilya J. Finkelstein, Blerta Xhemalçe, Shilpa Rao.
