• Description:
  Numerous institutions conducting translational research have assembled teams to enable the two-way translation of scientific discoveries between bench, clinical, and community-based research. However, the design and management of such teams can be a challenge given the wide range of goals and disciplines involved, often resulting in an explosion of textual information. Here we explore the role of bipartite visual analytics to enable the comprehension of multiple team variables in a single representation. A bipartite network analysis of 11 multidisciplinary translational teams consisting of 119 members from 26 different affiliations revealed patterns related to team overlap, homogeneity, and size. Besides helping to comprehend the topology of the teams, the results led to hypotheses about inter- and intra-team dynamics, which could lead to more effective approaches for designing and managing translational teams.
