Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Washington Department of Biostatistics is a 20-PI network with 5 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (28% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), Genetics as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics as the leading topic (9% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The leading PI names are Ruikang K. Wang (9.6 weighted works; Optical Coherence Tomography Applications, Retinal Diseases and Treatments). The clearest collaboration lines are Sharon R. Browning and Brian L. Browning (3 shared works, weight 2.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 0.2, around Biomedical Engineering, General Health Professions, Genetics, led by Ruikang K. Wang, Alison E. Fohner, Robyn L. McClelland; group 2 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 0.7, around Molecular Biology, Management Science and Operations Research, Statistics and Probability, led by Ting Ye, Guanghao Qi, Ali Shojaie.
