Report summary

For University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in 2015-2017, the graph shows 35 visible PIs and 26 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (52% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (41% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), and DNA Repair Mechanisms as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That concentration is a strength for a focused search, although candidates outside Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology should inspect the smaller groups closely. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Nikolay V. Dokholyan (17.4 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms); Aziz Sancar (16.5 weighted works; DNA Repair Mechanisms, Circadian rhythm and melatonin). The clearest collaboration lines are Brian Kuhlman and Hayretin Yumerefendi (7 shared works, weight 4.3); Aziz Sancar and Christopher P. Selby (9 shared works, weight 4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 11.7, around Molecular Biology, Plant Science, Materials Chemistry, led by Nikolay V. Dokholyan, Brian Kuhlman, Brian D. Strahl.
