Report summary

University of California, Los Angeles Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2018-2020 reads as a 72-PI network with 115 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (23% of slots across 37 PIs; 37 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (18% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), and Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques as the leading topic (3% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 25 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are K. N. Houk (61.4 weighted works; Organic Chemistry Cycloaddition Reactions, Asymmetric Synthesis and Catalysis). The most visible ties are Xiangfeng Duan and Yu Huang (53 shared works, weight 26.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 18.5, around Materials Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Richard B. Kaner, Alexander M. Spokoyny, Sarah H. Tolbert.
