Report summary

University of California, San Diego Department of Pharmacology in 2015-2017 reads as a 37-PI network with 44 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (48% of slots across 33 PIs; 33 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (31% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), and Protein Kinase Regulation and GTPase Signaling as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 16 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Michael Karin (18.5 weighted works; Cancer Immunotherapy and Biomarkers, Liver Disease Diagnosis and Treatment); Kun‐Liang Guan (17.3 weighted works; Hippo pathway signaling and YAP/TAZ, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in cancer). The most visible ties are Joan Heller Brown and Shigeki Miyamoto (11 shared works, weight 6); Paul A. Insel and Ross Corriden (8 shared works, weight 5.8). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 24.4, around Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, led by Michael Karin, Kun‐Liang Guan, Mark H. Ellisman.
