Report summary

Washington University in St. Louis Department of Genetics in 2021-2023 reads as a 40-PI network with 44 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (37% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), and Epigenetics and DNA Methylation as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 14 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Sidharth V. Puram (18 weighted works; Cancer Cells and Metastasis, Head and Neck Cancer Studies); Carlos Cruchaga (17.7 weighted works; Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, Bioinformatics and Genomic Networks). The most visible ties are Obi L. Griffith and Malachi Griffith (78 shared works, weight 23.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 6.3, around Molecular Biology, Neurology, Developmental Neuroscience, led by Joseph D. Dougherty, Jeffrey Milbrandt, Rachel M. Rahn; group 2 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 5.1, around Molecular Biology, Surgery, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, led by Ting Wang, Mario A Miranda, Heather A. Lawson.
