Report summary

University of California, San Diego Department of Pharmacology in 2021-2023 reads as a 30-PI network with 28 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (53% of slots across 26 PIs; 26 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (31% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), and Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry Studies as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). The focus is impressively clear, which is good for fit in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology but worth checking for breadth outside that area. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jin Zhang (19.2 weighted works; Receptor Mechanisms and Signaling, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in cancer). The strongest pairings are Jui‐Hung Weng and Susan S. Taylor (8 shared works, weight 5.3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 14.8, around Molecular Biology, Neurology, Genetics, led by Michael Karin, Pieter C. Dorrestein, Susan S. Taylor.
