Decoding Toxicity: Smarter Compound Analysis with Attention-GNNs and Differentiable Pooling

Toxicity prediction is crucial in drug discovery and chemical safety. Traditional tests on live animals, though reliable, are expensive, time-consuming and often considered unethical. Leveraging Graph Neural Networks offers a faster, more cost-effective alternative, revolutionizing compound screening and safety approaches.
