Drug Repurposing using TigerGraph and Graph Machine Learning

In this article we show in details how a freely available but real-world biomedical knowledge graph (the Drug Repurposing Knowledge Graph or DRKG) can generate compounds for concrete diseases. As an example, we show how to discover new compounds to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). We use TigerGraph as a backend graph database to store the knowledge graph and the newly discovered relationships together with some graph machine learning techniques (in easy to use Python frameworks).
