Report summary

University of California, San Francisco Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in 2015-2017 reads as a 45-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 40 PIs; 40 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (34% of slots across 34 PIs; 34 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 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 David R. Raleigh (13.7 weighted works; Meningioma and schwannoma management, Pituitary Gland Disorders and Treatments). The strongest pairings are Lily Yeh Jan and Yuh Nung Jan (18 shared works, weight 8.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 16.6, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, led by Yifan Cheng, Geeta J. Narlikar, Yuh Nung Jan; group 2 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 12.6, around Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Genetics, led by David R. Raleigh, Bo Huang, Wallace F. Marshall.
