Most biological systems have underlying multiple spatial or temporal scales that require reduced-order models to capture their essential dynamics and analyze them. However, traditional model reduction techniques, such as Computational Singular Perturbation (CSP), rely on the availability of the governing or dynamical equations, which are often unknown from data in biomedical applications. To address this limitation, we propose a data-driven CSP framework that integrates Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) and Neural Networks to extract time-scale separated models directly from data. Our approach is validated on the Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics model, a well-established multiscale system, by identifying reduced models for the standard Quasi-Steady-State Approximation (sQSSA) and reverse Quasi-Steady-State Approximation (rQSSA). When the full model cannot be identified by SINDy due to noise, we use Neural Networks to estimate the Jacobian matrix, allowing CSP to determine the regions where reduced models are valid. We further analyze Partial Equilibrium Approximation (PEA) case, where the dynamics span both sQSSA and rQSSA regimes, requiring dataset splitting to accurately identify region-specific models. The results demonstrate that SINDy struggles in the presence of noise to identify full model from data that have underlying timescale evolution, but remains effective for identifying reduced models when dataset are partitioned correctly.
