Report summary

University of Pennsylvania Department of Bioengineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 40-PI network with 47 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (25% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Cellular Mechanics and Interactions as the leading topic (8% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 16 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Danielle S. Bassett (28.6 weighted works; Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Neural dynamics and brain function). The strongest pairings are Robert L. Mauck and Jason A. Burdick (10 shared works, weight 6); Danielle S. Bassett and John D. Medaglia (7 shared works, weight 5.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 13.4, around Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Surgery, led by Jason A. Burdick, Robert L. Mauck, Pavan Atluri.
