Report summary

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Biology in 2015-2026 reads as a 120-PI network with 171 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (35% of slots across 77 PIs; 77 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 44 PIs; 44 labels), and Plant and animal studies as the leading topic (3% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 24 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Kerry Bloom (43.2 weighted works; Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics, Microtubule and mitosis dynamics); Albert S. Baldwin (40.6 weighted works; NF-κB Signaling Pathways, interferon and immune responses). The most visible ties are Josh Lawrimore and Kerry Bloom (28 shared works, weight 18.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 42.7, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, led by Mark Peifer, Robert J. Duronio, A. Gregory Matera.
