Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for Yale University Department of Biomedical Engineering is a 30-PI network with 37 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (32% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Angiogenesis and VEGF in Cancer as the leading topic (7% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 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 Laura E. Niklason (15.4 weighted works; Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, Electrospun Nanofibers in Biomedical Applications). The strongest pairings are Richard E. Carson and Chi Liu (14 shared works, weight 7.3); Douglas L. Rothman and Fahmeed Hyder (10 shared works, weight 5.5). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 13.7, around Molecular Biology, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Surgery, led by Laura E. Niklason, Jay D. Humphrey, Alan Dardik.
