Report summary

For University of California, Berkeley Department of Plant and Microbial Biology in 2015-2026, the graph shows 83 visible PIs and 125 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (37% of slots across 56 PIs; 56 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (27% of slots across 48 PIs; 48 labels), and Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms as the leading topic (6% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels). That is a healthy pattern, with enough links to reveal several interpretable groups rather than one undifferentiated component. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Sabeeha Merchant (3926.9 weighted works; Algal biology and biofuel production, Earthquake Detection and Analysis). The clearest collaboration lines are Krishna Niyogi and Melissa Roth (4816 shared works, weight 485.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 41.5, around Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, led by Devin Coleman‐Derr, John W. Taylor, Rachel I. Adams; group 2 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 597.4, around Plant Science, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Molecular Biology, led by Sabeeha Merchant, Krishna Niyogi, Melissa Roth.
