#48 Machine learning for drug development with Marinka Zitnik

Listen Later

In this episode, Jacob Schreiber interviews Marinka Zitnik about

applications of machine learning to drug development.
They begin their discussion with an overview of open research questions in the
field, including limiting the search space of high-throughput testing methods,
designing drugs entirely from scratch, predicting ways that existing drugs can
be repurposed, and identifying likely side-effects of combining existing drugs
in novel ways. Focusing on the last of these areas, they then discuss one of
Marinka’s recent papers, Modeling polypharmacy side effects with graph
convolutional networks.
