Report summary

University of Illinois Chicago Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2015-2026 reads as a 61-PI network with 72 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (33% of slots across 41 PIs; 41 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and 3D Printing in Biomedical Research as the leading topic (3% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 22 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Reza Shahbazian‐Yassar (91.7 weighted works; Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies, Advancements in Battery Materials). The strongest pairings are Reza Shahbazian‐Yassar and Tolou Shokuhfar (52 shared works, weight 25.9); Asrar B. Malik and Jalees Rehman (53 shared works, weight 25.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 72.8, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, led by Reza Shahbazian‐Yassar, Ali R.
