Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for Yale University Department of Cell Biology is a 39-PI network with 53 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (54% of slots across 37 PIs; 37 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (27% of slots across 25 PIs; 25 labels), and Cellular transport and secretion as the leading topic (12% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 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 Michael Simons (12.7 weighted works; Angiogenesis and VEGF in Cancer, Cell Adhesion Molecules Research). The strongest pairings are Shyam S. Krishnakumar and James E. Rothman (15 shared works, weight 6.9). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 21.6, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, led by James E. Rothman, Chenxiang Lin, Shyam S. Krishnakumar.
