Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of Chicago Department of Chemistry is a 103-PI network with 148 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (21% of slots across 43 PIs; 43 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 38 PIs; 38 labels), and Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Studies as the leading topic (4% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 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 Wenbin Lin (172 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Nanoplatforms for cancer theranostics). The strongest pairings are Chuan He and Qing Dai (48 shared works, weight 19.2). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 59.8, around Molecular Biology, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Materials Chemistry, led by Gregory A. Voth, Andrew L. Ferguson, Andrei Tokmakoff.
