description Bioscience is an interdisciplinary venture. Driven by a quantum shift in the volume of high throughput data and in ready availability of data-intensive technologies, mathematical and quantitative approaches have become increasingly common in bioscience. For instance, a recent shift towards a quantitative description of cells and phenotypes, which is supplanting conventional qualitative descriptions, has generated immense promise and opportunities in the field of bench-to-bedside cancer OMICS, chemical biology and pharmacology. Nevertheless, like any burgeoning field, there remains a lack of shared and standardized framework for quantitative cancer research. Here, in the context of cancer, we present a basic framework and guidelines for bench-to-bedside quantitative research and therapy. We outline some of the basic concepts and their parallel use cases for chemical–protein interactions. Along with several recommendations for assay setup and conditions, we also catalog applications of these quantitative techniques in some of the most widespread discovery pipeline and analytical methods in the field. We believe adherence to these guidelines will improve experimental design, reduce variabilities and standardize quantitative datasets.
