Report summary

University of Illinois Chicago Department of Chemistry in 2015-2026 reads as a 65-PI network with 77 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (21% of slots across 30 PIs; 30 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), and Catalytic C–H Functionalization Methods 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 19 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Neal P. Mankad (67.5 weighted works; Catalytic C–H Functionalization Methods, Catalytic Cross-Coupling Reactions); Jordi Cabana (66.4 weighted works; Advancements in Battery Materials, Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies). The most visible ties are Jordi Cabana and Robert F. Klie (44 shared works, weight 18.4). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 33.5, around Organic Chemistry, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Education, led by Neal P. Mankad, Daesung Lee, Ksenija D. Glusac.
