Report summary

University of Virginia Department of Pharmacology in 2015-2017 reads as a 19-PI network with 10 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Medicine as the leading field (28% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Adipose Tissue and Metabolism as the leading topic (7% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The leading PI names are Patrice G. Guyenet (8.5 weighted works; Neuroscience of respiration and sleep, Sleep and Wakefulness Research); Thomas P. Loughran (8.5 weighted works; Immune Cell Function and Interaction, Sphingolipid Metabolism and Signaling). The most visible ties are Patrice G. Guyenet and Douglas A. Bayliss (6 shared works, weight 3.8). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 7.1, around Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, Molecular Biology, Immunology, led by Patrice G. Guyenet, Norbert Leitinger, Douglas A. Bayliss; group 2 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 1.2, around Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Psychiatry and Mental health, led by Jie Zhu, Mark P. Beenhakker, Michael M. Scott.
