Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Vanderbilt University Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is a 30-PI network with 33 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (26% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), and 3D Printing in Biomedical Research as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 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 Jens Meiler (88.4 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, Computational Drug Discovery Methods); Shihong Lin (67.3 weighted works; Membrane Separation Technologies, Membrane-based Ion Separation Techniques). The strongest pairings are Peter N. Pintauro and Ryszard Wycisk (54 shared works, weight 23.4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 11.8, around Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, led by John T. Wilson, Jamey D. Young, Sandra J. Rosenthal; group 2 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 11.8, around Molecular Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Shihong Lin, Kelsey B. Hatzell, Peter T. Cummings.
