Report summary

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Biology in 2018-2020 reads as a 106-PI network with 88 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (36% of slots across 68 PIs; 68 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 43 PIs; 43 labels), and Animal Behavior and Reproduction as the leading topic (3% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The leading PI names are Kerry Bloom (21.6 weighted works; Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics, DNA and Nucleic Acid Chemistry); Albert S. Baldwin (19.9 weighted works; NF-κB Signaling Pathways, interferon and immune responses). The most visible ties are Josh Lawrimore and Kerry Bloom (15 shared works, weight 9.2). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 14 internal connections, weight 17.8, around Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, led by Jeffery L. Dangl, Zachary L. Nimchuk, Joseph J. Kieber; group 2 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 13.8, around Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Molecular Biology, led by Daniel R. Matute, Maria R. Servedio, Joseph A. McGirr.
