Report summary

University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Biological Chemistry in 2015-2026 reads as a 72-PI network with 95 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (45% of slots across 62 PIs; 62 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (32% of slots across 53 PIs; 53 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (6% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 22 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Zhan Chen (101.7 weighted works; Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Studies, Photochemistry and Electron Transfer Studies). The most visible ties are Yang Zhang and Chengxin Zhang (43 shared works, weight 26.4); Yang Zhang and Wei Zheng (33 shared works, weight 19.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 27.9, around Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Materials Chemistry, led by Ruma Banerjee, Janet L. Smith, Yali Dou.
