Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for Yale University Department of Biomedical Engineering is a 43-PI network with 40 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (34% of slots across 30 PIs; 30 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications as the leading topic (5% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are W. Mark Saltzman (10.2 weighted works; Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery, RNA Interference and Gene Delivery). The strongest pairings are Albert J. Sinusas and Chi Liu (11 shared works, weight 5.2). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 17 internal connections, weight 26.2, around Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Spectroscopy, Materials Chemistry, led by Albert J. Sinusas, Fahmeed Hyder, Chi Liu.
