Primary Strategic Goal:
Learning: Build the Nation's research capability through critical investments in advanced instrumentation, facilities, cyber infrastructure, and experimental tools.
Secondary Strategic Goal:
Research Infrastructure: Build the Nation's research capability through critical investments in advanced instrumentation, facilities, cyber infrastructure, and experimental tools.

Achievement/Results

Using the interaction between stem cells and their nanoenvironment to guide vascular differentiation. I was able to show the potential to differentiate all 3 germ layers; ectoderm. mesoderm, endoderm.

Address Goals

This activity addressed both the primary and secondary NSF strategies 1) because we are able to learn more abloutthe functionality of the cell and 2) we are able to proliferate undifferentiated cells.
