The primary strategic goal that this research addresses is that of discovery. This research is clearly not hypothesis-driven and focuses on broadening our understanding of this particular cellular process, namely cell differentiation. Collaborative learning is also a goal clearly addressed by this research. The experimentation included researchers from multiple different backgrounds, including biology, chemistry and engineering. This is in line with the goals of NSF that seek to create a more interdisciplinary, inclusive scientific community.
