Abstract
To advance the systems approach in pharmacology, experimental models and computational methods need to be integrated from early drug discovery onward. Here, we propose outside-in model development, a model identification technique to understand and predict the dynamics of a system without requiring prior biological and/or pharmacological knowledge. The advanced data required could be obtained by whole vertebrate, high-throughput, low-resource dose-exposure-effect experimentation with the zebrafish larva. Combinations of these innovative techniques could improve early drug discovery.
