Drug Response Prediction

Drug response prediction (DRP) aims to computationally predict how individual patients or cell lines will respond to specific drugs, enabling personalized medicine and accelerating drug discovery. Current research heavily utilizes deep learning, particularly graph neural networks and transformers, to integrate diverse data sources like genomics, transcriptomics, and drug chemical structures, often employing techniques like multi-modal fusion and transfer learning to improve prediction accuracy and interpretability. These advancements hold significant promise for optimizing cancer treatment strategies and streamlining the drug development process by identifying effective therapies and minimizing the need for extensive and costly clinical trials.
