Report summary

For University of California, San Diego Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2015-2017, the graph shows 59 visible PIs and 64 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (30% of slots across 37 PIs; 37 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (22% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (3% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 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 Seth M. Cohen (23.6 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications); Rob Knight (20.8 weighted works; Gut microbiota and health, Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology). The clearest collaboration lines are Rob Knight and Pieter C. Dorrestein (16 shared works, weight 7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 8.8, around Molecular Biology, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Materials Chemistry, led by Seth M. Cohen, Nathan C. Gianneschi, Neal K. Devaraj; group 2 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 9.9, around Molecular Biology, Atmospheric Science, Pharmacology, led by Kimberly A. Prather, Michael D. Burkart, Vicki H. Grassian.
