Report summary

University of California, Berkeley Department of Bioengineering in 2015-2026 reads as a 64-PI network with 69 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (33% of slots across 44 PIs; 44 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 36 PIs; 36 labels), and CRISPR and Genetic Engineering as the leading topic (4% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 22 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jay D. Keasling (82.6 weighted works; Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction, Microbial Natural Products and Biosynthesis); Jennifer A. Doudna (79.6 weighted works; CRISPR and Genetic Engineering, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms). The strongest pairings are Adam P. Arkin and Adam M. Deutschbauer (24 shared works, weight 7.8). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 20.6, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Aging, led by Jennifer A. Doudna, Mohammad R. K. Mofrad, Niren Murthy.
