Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Minnesota Oncology 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 Minnesota Oncology work in?

In 2022-now, 72% of research at Minnesota Oncology is in Health Sciences, 19% in Life Sciences. Its largest fields are Medicine (69%), Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (13%), Immunology and Microbiology (5%). It does 2.7× the world's share of Health Sciences.
