The 2015-2026 picture for University of Minnesota Department of Medicinal Chemistry is a 47-PI network with 79 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (32% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 26 PIs; 26 labels), and Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 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 Reuben S. Harris (49.6 weighted works; HIV Research and Treatment, Cancer Genomics and Diagnostics). The clearest collaboration lines are Gunda I. Georg and Jon E. Hawkinson (19 shared works, weight 9.1); Stephen S. Hecht and Sharon E. Murphy (30 shared works, weight 8.8). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 38.2, around Molecular Biology, Cancer Research, Organic Chemistry, led by Natalia Tretyakova, Stephen S. Hecht, Robert J. Turesky; group 2 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 25.8, around Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry, Immunology, led by Courtney C. Aldrich, Carston R. Wagner, Mark D. Distefano.
