Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of Utah Department of Biochemistry is a 55-PI network with 109 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (46% of slots across 44 PIs; 44 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (30% of slots across 39 PIs; 39 labels), and Mitochondrial Function and Pathology as the leading topic (4% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 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 Micah J. Drummond (40.3 weighted works; Muscle Physiology and Disorders, Adipose Tissue and Metabolism); Jared Rutter (32.9 weighted works; Cancer, Hypoxia, and Metabolism, Mitochondrial Function and Pathology). The strongest pairings are Anthony J. Donato and Lisa A. Lesniewski (65 shared works, weight 35.3). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 53.4, around Molecular Biology, Surgery, Cancer Research, led by Micah J. Drummond, Jared Rutter, Scott A. Summers; group 2 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 17.8, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Structural Biology, led by Janet Iwasa, Michael S. Kay, Peter Shen.
