A Foundation Model for Clinician-Centered Drug Repurposing with TxGNN

First author of the Nature Medicine 2024 paper introducing TxGNN, a geometric foundation model trained on a medical knowledge graph of 17,080 diseases to identify drug repurposing opportunities for rare diseases with clinician-interpretable rationales.

Scope & limitations

Predictions require in vitro wet-lab assay validation and clinical trials before therapeutic efficacy can be established.

Context: Graph Neural Networks, 17k disease knowledge graph, clinician explanatory subgraphs.

Therapeutics Data Commons: Machine Learning Benchmarks for Drug Discovery

Co-founded and engineered Therapeutics Data Commons (TDC), the de-facto open-source Python library standardizing 66 therapeutic machine learning tasks across small molecules, antibodies, target proteins, and clinical outcomes.

Scope & limitations

Public biological datasets often carry historical batch effects that require careful domain covariate shift evaluation.

Context: PyTorch Geometric, RDKit integration, 66 benchmark tasks across 22 problem formulations.
