Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Yale University Department of Cell Biology is a 59-PI network with 152 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (54% of slots across 55 PIs; 55 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (30% of slots across 42 PIs; 42 labels), and Cellular transport and secretion as the leading topic (11% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 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 Gary W. Brudvig (70.6 weighted works; Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion, Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms). The strongest pairings are James E. Rothman and Frédéric Pincet (29 shared works, weight 12.3); James E. Rothman and Shyam S. Krishnakumar (29 shared works, weight 11.9). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 13 internal connections, weight 67.8, around Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biophysics, led by James E. Rothman, Yongli Zhang, Joerg Bewersdorf.
