Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for University of Chicago Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is a 29-PI network with 35 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (52% of slots across 26 PIs; 26 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (38% of slots across 25 PIs; 25 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (8% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Chuan He (21.1 weighted works; RNA modifications and cancer, Epigenetics and DNA Methylation). The strongest pairings are Francisco Bezanilla and Stephen B. H. Kent (9 shared works, weight 4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 18.5, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, led by Benoı̂t Roux, Francisco Bezanilla, Stephen B. H. Kent.
