Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for University of California, Los Angeles Department of Bioengineering is a 63-PI network with 125 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (27% of slots across 33 PIs; 33 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 25 PIs; 25 labels), and 3D Printing in Biomedical Research as the leading topic (6% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The leading PI names are Ali Khademhosseini (70.6 weighted works; 3D Printing in Biomedical Research, Electrospun Nanofibers in Biomedical Applications); Aydogan Özcan (69.6 weighted works; Cell Image Analysis Techniques, Digital Holography and Microscopy). The clearest collaboration lines are Ali Khademhosseini and Nureddin Ashammakhi (43 shared works, weight 28.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 11.2, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Paul S. Weiss, Maie A. St. John, Min Lee.
