Why Drug Toxicity Can’t Be Predicted in Isolation — Building EIRION with Graph Neural Networks
How we built a graph neural network that finally sees the whole play — not just the audition Every year, drugs that passed early safety tests go on to harm people in ways nobody predicted. Not because the chemistry was wrong. Not because the researchers were careless. But because we kept evaluating drugs the way a talent agent judges an actor from a solo audition tape. Isolated. Out of context. No script. No co-stars. No stage. In real theatre, a performance is never just about one actor. It depends on who they share the stage with, which scene they appear in, what the story demands at that moment. A brilliant performer in the wrong play, surrounded by the wrong cast, in the wrong context — can still wreck the whole production. That is exactly how drug toxicity works. And that is exactly t
