Report summary

University of Maryland, College Park Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2024-2026 reads as a 31-PI network with 6 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (23% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), and Protein Structure and Dynamics as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is of concern for a 31-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Pratyush Tiwary (20 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, Computational Drug Discovery Methods). The most visible ties are Jinwoo Lee and Daniel Birtles (4 shared works, weight 3.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 2.3, around Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Biophysics, Spectroscopy, led by John T. Fourkas, Daniel E. Falvey, Amy S. Mullin.
