Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for University of Illinois Chicago Department of Chemistry is a 37-PI network with 29 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Chemistry as the leading field (20% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), and Catalytic C–H Functionalization Methods as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are Huan‐Xiang Zhou (20.1 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, RNA Research and Splicing); Jordi Cabana (19.5 weighted works; Advancements in Battery Materials, Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies). The strongest pairings are Xiaojing Yang and Zhong Ren (6 shared works, weight 3.3); Wonhwa Cho and Ashutosh Sharma (4 shared works, weight 3.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 5.8, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Physiology, led by Stephanie M. Cologna, Wonhwa Cho, Avia Rosenhouse‐Dantsker.
