Report summary

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Biology in 2021-2023 reads as a 58-PI network with 28 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (31% of slots across 34 PIs; 34 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), and Plant and animal studies as the leading topic (5% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). That is of concern for a 58-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Mark Peifer (14.3 weighted works; Cellular Mechanics and Interactions, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Treatments). The strongest pairings are Brian A. Lerch and Maria R. Servedio (5 shared works, weight 4.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 3.8, around Aging, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, led by Mark Peifer, Kerry Bloom, Paul S. Maddox; group 2 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 5.1, around Molecular Biology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Global and Planetary Change, led by Joel G. Kingsolver, Robert J. Duronio, David W. Pfennig.
