Bringing a novel drug from the original idea to market typically requires more than ten years and billions of dollars. To alleviate the heavy burden, a natural idea is to reuse the approved drug to treat new diseases. The process is also…
The integration of machine learning methods into bioinformatics provides particular benefits in identifying how therapeutics effective in one context might have utility in an unknown clinical context or against a novel pathology. We aim to…
Knowledge graph (KG) is used to represent data in terms of entities and structural relations between the entities. This representation can be used to solve complex problems such as recommendation systems and question answering. In this…
Knowledge graphs (KGs) are powerful tools that codify relational behaviour between entities in knowledge bases. KGs can simultaneously model many different types of subject-predicate-object and higher-order relations. As such, they offer a…
Motivation: Drug repurposing is a viable solution for reducing the time and cost associated with drug development. However, thus far, the proposed drug repurposing approaches still need to meet expectations. Therefore, it is crucial to…
The novel coronavirus disease, named COVID-19, emerged in China in December 2019, and has rapidly spread around the world. It is clearly urgent to fight COVID-19 at global scale. The development of methods for identifying drug uses based on…
In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, deep learning methods have been widely investigated in detecting COVID-19 from chest X-rays. However, a more pragmatic approach to applying AI methods to a medical diagnosis is designing a framework…
Drug repositioning aims to identify potential new indications for existing drugs to reduce the time and financial costs associated with developing new drugs. Most existing deep learning-based drug repositioning methods predominantly utilize…
Predicting interactions among heterogenous graph structured data has numerous applications such as knowledge graph completion, recommendation systems and drug discovery. Often times, the links to be predicted belong to rare types such as…
Development of new medications is a very lengthy and costly process. Finding novel indications for existing drugs, or drug repositioning, can serve as a useful strategy to shorten the development cycle. In this study, we present an approach…
Predicting drug side-effects before they occur is a key task in keeping the number of drug-related hospitalizations low and to improve drug discovery processes. Automatic predictors of side-effects generally are not able to process the…
Drug combination therapy is a well-established strategy for disease treatment with better effectiveness and less safety degradation. However, identifying novel drug combinations through wet-lab experiments is resource intensive due to the…
Graph Machine Learning (GML) is receiving growing interest within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for its ability to model biomolecular structures, the functional relationships between them, and integrate multi-omic datasets…
The COVID-19 crisis called for rapid reaction from all the fields of biomedical research. Traditional drug development involves time consuming pipelines that conflict with the urgence of identifying effective therapies during a health and…
The drug development pipeline for a new compound can last 10-20 years and cost over 10 billion. Drug repurposing offers a more time- and cost-effective alternative. Computational approaches based on biomedical knowledge graph…
Drug repurposing has attracted increasing attention from both the pharmaceutical industry and the research community. Many existing computational drug repurposing methods rely on preclinical data (e.g., chemical structures, drug targets),…
A pharmacological effect of a drug on cells, organs and systems refers to the specific biochemical interaction produced by a drug substance, which is called its mechanism of action. Drug repositioning (or drug repurposing) is a fundamental…
Unsupervised clustering has broad applications in data stratification, pattern investigation and new discovery beyond existing knowledge. In particular, clustering of bioactive molecules facilitates chemical space mapping,…
Drug repurposing is often framed as a candidate identification task, but existing approaches provide limited guidance for distinguishing biologically plausible candidates from historically well-connected ones. Here we introduce DrugKLM, a…
Drug repositioning offers an effective solution to drug discovery, saving both time and resources by finding new indications for existing drugs. Typically, a drug takes effect via its protein targets in the cell. As a result, it is…
