Report summary

University of Utah Department of Human Genetics in 2015-2017 reads as a 25-PI network with 11 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (50% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (25% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Epigenetics and DNA Methylation as the leading topic (5% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is of concern for a 25-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are John M. Opitz (12.9 weighted works; Microtubule and mitosis dynamics, Ethics and Legal Issues in Pediatric Healthcare); Josef T. Prchal (11.5 weighted works; Cancer, Hypoxia, and Metabolism, Hemoglobinopathies and Related Disorders). The strongest pairings are Kenneth I. Aston and Douglas T. Carrell (22 shared works, weight 6.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 4.4, around Molecular Biology, Surgery, Cell Biology, led by Aaron R. Quinlan, Dean Y. Li, Carl S. Thummel.
