Pharmacological testing is a critical component of drug development. However, researchers frequently encounter persistent challenges that impede progress. Establishing reliable animal and disease models is not only time-consuming but also technically demanding, often resulting in poor reproducibility and elevated experimental costs. Many essential pharmacological assays require access to sophisticated instrumentation and specialized expertise, creating high technical barriers for laboratories lacking these resources. Moreover, interpreting complex pharmacological data necessitates interdisciplinary knowledge in bioinformatics, systems biology, and statistical modeling—domains in which many research teams have limited proficiency. Compounding these issues are manpower constraints, particularly in high-throughput screening projects, where tight timelines and limited personnel make it difficult to maintain experimental quality. Additionally, cumbersome internal procedures, including prolonged reviews, intricate workflows, and excessive documentation, further delay project timelines and reduce operational efficiency.
