Editorial: Interdisciplinary people drive groundbreaking science

2014 , Najia, Mohamad Ali

Over the past 5000 years of human scientific exploration, the concept of “large interdisciplinary research teams” has only recently emerged in an effort to solve complex scientific problems of the modern era. Mammoth scientific projects, where the technical goals have been clearly defined, necessitated the need for large, globally collaborating teams. The Human Genome Project, for example, employed engineers, biologists, chemists and computer scientists spanning four continents. Resting on the successes of the sequenced genome, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2005 revealed the Roadmap Initiative to encourage, as they term, “new organizational models for team science.” However, have the ideas of interdisciplinary science and large teams become inappropriately intertwined for today’s research questions?

The Entrance into the Stem Cell Era: An Opportunity for Theraputics, Diagnostics, and Drug Discovery

2013 , Najia, Mohamad Ali

In recent years, stem cell research has emerged as one of the most exciting areas of scientific discovery and medical promise. Human embryonic stem cells capture the imagination because they are immortal and have an almost unlimited developmental potential. After many months of growth in culture dishes, these remarkable cells maintain the ability to form cells ranging from muscle to nerve to blood—potentially any cell type that makes up the human body. The proliferative and developmental potential of human embryonic stem cells promises an essentially basic research and transplantation therapies for diseases, ranging from heart disease to Parkinson’s disease to leukemia. Stem cells can also be used to study an individual’s disease progression in vitro, opening up opportunities for personalized therapeutics and pharmaceuticals.
