Report summary

University of California, Los Angeles Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2021-2023 reads as a 65-PI network with 90 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (22% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), and Alzheimer's disease research and treatments as the leading topic (2% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 22 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are K. N. Houk (57.7 weighted works; Organic Chemistry Cycloaddition Reactions, Asymmetric Synthesis and Catalysis). The strongest pairings are Xiangfeng Duan and Yu Huang (32 shared works, weight 16.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 38.7, around Materials Chemistry, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, led by Anastassia N. Alexandrova, Philippe Sautet, Xiangfeng Duan.
