Report summary

University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Biostatistics in 2015-2017 reads as a 47-PI network with 74 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Mathematics as the leading field (26% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Statistics and Probability as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), and Statistical Methods and Inference as the leading topic (9% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 26 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Arul M. Chinnaiyan (24.5 weighted works; Cancer Genomics and Diagnostics, Cancer-related molecular mechanisms research). The strongest pairings are Brisa N. Sánchez and Lewis B. Morgenstern (20 shared works, weight 6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 12.7, around Genetics, Molecular Biology, Statistics and Probability, led by Lam C. Tsoi, Bhramar Mukherjee, Seunggeun Lee; group 2 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 10.9, around Statistics and Probability, Molecular Biology, Cancer Research, led by Arul M. Chinnaiyan, Lili Zhao, Maureen A. Sartor.
