Report summary

For University of California, Davis Department of Animal Science in 2024-2026, the graph shows 23 visible PIs and 6 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (27% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), Genetics as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies as the leading topic (6% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Dietmar Kültz (7 weighted works; Advanced Proteomics Techniques and Applications, CRISPR and Genetic Engineering); E. Kebreab (6.8 weighted works; Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology, Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock). The clearest collaboration lines are Timothy J. Hackmann and Payam Vahmani (4 shared works, weight 3.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 3.7, around Biomedical Engineering, Nutrition and Dietetics, Animal Science and Zoology, led by Timothy J. Hackmann, Payam Vahmani, Annie J. King; group 2 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 1.1, around Molecular Biology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, led by Russell C. Hovey, Anna C. Denicol, Xiang Yang.
