In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell technologies primarily rely on genomic and transcriptomic data, which only infer cellular function. A function-focused approach offers a transformative shift by enabling the direct measurement of functional outputs early in the discovery process, providing a…
