Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Minerva Foundation sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does Minerva Foundation work in?

In 2022-now, 45% of research at Minerva Foundation is in Health Sciences, 37% in Life Sciences. Its largest fields are Medicine (43%), Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (30%), Neuroscience (6%). It does 2.3× the world's share of Life Sciences.
