Report summary

University of Pennsylvania Department of Bioengineering in 2021-2023 reads as a 65-PI network with 100 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (29% of slots across 35 PIs; 35 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and Cellular Mechanics and Interactions as the leading topic (4% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 23 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Michael J. Mitchell (32.3 weighted works; RNA Interference and Gene Delivery, Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques). The strongest pairings are Dani S. Bassett and David M. Lydon‐Staley (13 shared works, weight 5.3); Jason A. Burdick and Robert L. Mauck (11 shared works, weight 4.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 13 internal connections, weight 30.1, around Biomedical Engineering, Surgery, Rheumatology, led by Jason A. Burdick, Robert L. Mauck, David P. Cormode; group 2 with 8 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 15, around Cognitive Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental health, led by D. Kacy Cullen, Dani S. Bassett, Flavia Vitale.
