Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for University of California, Berkeley Department of Bioengineering is a 33-PI network with 13 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (31% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (22% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Cellular Mechanics and Interactions as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The leading PI names are Jay D. Keasling (30.8 weighted works; Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction, Microbial Natural Products and Biosynthesis). The clearest collaboration lines are Zainab Haydari and Mohammad R. K. Mofrad (5 shared works, weight 4.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 8.7, around Molecular Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Cell Biology, led by Phillip B. Messersmith, David V. Schaffer, Niren Murthy.
