To make the right decision you need as many facts as possible available. Scientists and drug developers are in a constant struggle to make many key decisions about their potential compound – Is it working? Is it safe? Does it have a clinical impact? Does it have a large enough clinical impact? Are the side effects too serious compared to the benefits? The list of decisions to take can basically be endless.
That is why it is instrumental to have test methods and assays in place to gain more insight and be able to make better-informed drug development decisions.
