Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for University of Chicago Department of Chemistry is a 37-PI network with 21 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (25% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Catalytic C–H Functionalization Methods as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Wenbin Lin (33.9 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications). The clearest collaboration lines are Luping Yu and Zhengxu Cai (12 shared works, weight 8). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 12.1, around Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Chuan He, Gregory A. Voth, Benoı̂t Roux.
