Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for University of California, Berkeley Department of Bioengineering is a 32-PI network with 9 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (32% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and 3D Printing in Biomedical Research as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The top weighted PIs are Grace X. Gu (29.2 weighted works; Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Technologies, Acoustic Wave Phenomena Research). The strongest pairings are David V. Schaffer and Sanjay Kumar (5 shared works, weight 2.3); Irina M. Conboy and Kiana Aran (4 shared works, weight 2.2). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 3.4, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Genetics, led by David V. Schaffer, Boris Rubinsky, Kevin E. Healy.
