Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Pennsylvania Department of Bioengineering is a 52-PI network with 56 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (31% of slots across 34 PIs; 34 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Cellular Mechanics and Interactions as the leading topic (3% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Michael J. Mitchell (25.7 weighted works; RNA Interference and Gene Delivery, Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques). The strongest pairings are Joel D. Boerckel and Annemarie Lang (4 shared works, weight 3.5). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 11.3, around Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, led by Jason A. Burdick, Louis J. Soslowsky, Robert L. Mauck; group 2 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 11.4, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, led by Michael J. Mitchell, David P. Cormode, David Issadore.
