Report summary

Yale University Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry in 2015-2026 reads as a 77-PI network with 133 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (50% of slots across 64 PIs; 64 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (32% of slots across 51 PIs; 51 labels), and RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms as the leading topic (9% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 27 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Mark Gerstein (73.3 weighted works; Bioinformatics and Genomic Networks, Cancer Genomics and Diagnostics); Gary W. Brudvig (70.6 weighted works; Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion, Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms). The strongest pairings are Mark Gerstein and Dov Greenbaum (11 shared works, weight 10.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 33.3, around Molecular Biology, Environmental Engineering, Cell Biology, led by Gary W. Brudvig, Christopher G. Bunick, Jimin Wang.
