Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of Minnesota Department of Biochemistry Molecular Biology and Biophysics is a 73-PI network with 115 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (42% of slots across 65 PIs; 65 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (30% of slots across 55 PIs; 55 labels), and CRISPR and Genetic Engineering as the leading topic (3% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The leading PI names are Lawrence P. Wackett (237.6 weighted works; Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology, Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies). The clearest collaboration lines are David D. Thomas and Rǎzvan L. Cornea (69 shared works, weight 31.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 45.4, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Reuben S. Harris, Prokopios P. Argyris, Hideki Aihara.
