Abstract
Drug development is a complex, high-risk, and resource-intensive process, with global challenges such as high costs, regulatory hurdles, and low clinical trial success rates. These obstacles are especially acute for biotech startups and companies in emerging markets, where access to infrastructure, patient populations, and capital can be limited. This Perspective advocates for Abu Dhabi's emerging life sciences ecosystem as a potential framework for other regions seeking to accelerate pharmaceutical innovation. By offering government-backed incentives, advanced research infrastructure, regulatory support, and access to regional genomic data, Abu Dhabi provides a model for addressing industry bottlenecks and fostering sustainable drug development growth in new markets.
期刊介绍：
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary scientific forum dedicated to advancing the frontiers of basic cellular research. It addresses scientists from both the physiological and biochemical disciplines as well as related fields such as genetics, molecular biology, pathophysiology, pathobiochemistry and cellular toxicology & pharmacology. Original papers and reviews on the mechanisms of intracellular transmission, cellular metabolism, cell growth, differentiation and death, ion channels and carriers, and the maintenance, regulation and disturbances of cell volume are presented. Appearing monthly under peer review, Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry takes an active role in the concerted international effort to unravel the mechanisms of cellular function.
