Report summary

For University of California, San Diego Department of Bioengineering in 2015-2026, the graph shows 111 visible PIs and 277 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (31% of slots across 64 PIs; 64 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 50 PIs; 50 labels), and Microbial Metabolic Engineering and Bioproduction as the leading topic (3% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 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 Liangfang Zhang (129.2 weighted works; Nanoplatforms for cancer theranostics, RNA Interference and Gene Delivery). The clearest collaboration lines are Bernhard Ø. Palsson and Adam M. Feist (58 shared works, weight 26.9); Ravinder K. Mittal and Ali Zifan (32 shared works, weight 25.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 44, around Biomedical Engineering, Surgery, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, led by Jesse V. Jokerst, Nicole F. Steinmetz, Jiang Du.
