Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Pharmacology is a 77-PI network with 111 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (35% of slots across 56 PIs; 56 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (22% of slots across 44 PIs; 44 labels), and Receptor Mechanisms and Signaling as the leading topic (4% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Daniel L. Hertz (74 weighted works; Pharmacogenetics and Drug Metabolism, Cancer Treatment and Pharmacology); Shaomeng Wang (71.8 weighted works; Protein Degradation and Inhibitors, Ubiquitin and proteasome pathways). The strongest pairings are Peter J. H. Scott and Xia Shao (62 shared works, weight 26.9). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 30.3, around Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Materials Chemistry, led by Robert T. Kennedy, Michael Holinstat, Alan V. Smrcka; group 2 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 12.7, around Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Cell Biology, led by Lori L. Isom, Paul M. Jenkins, Yan Chen.
