- Abstract: Scientific and technological advances in medicine and systems biology have
unequivocally shown that health and disease must be viewed in the context of
the interplay among multiple molecular and environmental factors. Understanding
the effects of cellular interconnection on disease progression may lead to the
identification of novel disease genes and pathways, and hence influence
precision diagnostics and therapeutics. To accomplish this goal, the emerging
field of network medicine applies network science approaches to investigate
disease pathogenesis, integrating information from relevant Omics databases,
including protein-protein interaction, correlation-based, gene regulatory, and
Bayesian networks. However, this requires analysing and computing large amounts
of data. Moreover, if we are to efficiently search for new drugs and new drug
combinations, there is a pressing need for computational methods that could
allow us to access the immense chemical compound space until now largely
unexplored. Finally, at the microscopic level, drug-target chemistry simulation
is ultimately a quantum problem, and hence it requires a quantum solution. As
we will discuss, quantum computing may be a key ingredient in enabling the full
potential of network medicine. We propose to combine network medicine and
quantum algorithms in a novel research field, quantum network medicine, to lay
the foundations of a new era of disease prevention and drug design.

We survey the literature and argue for the development of a comprehensive framework for embedding of multi-scale molecular network data.
Network embedding methods map nodes to points in low-dimensional space, so that proximity in the learned space reflects the network's topology-function relationships.
We propose to develop a general, comprehensive embedding framework for multi-omic network data, from models to efficient and scalable software implementation.

We propose EmerGNN, a graph neural network (GNN) that can effectively predict interactions for emerging drugs.
EmerGNN learns pairwise representations of drugs by extracting the paths between drug pairs, propagating information from one drug to the other, and incorporating the relevant biomedical concepts on the paths.
Overall, EmerGNN has higher accuracy than existing approaches in predicting interactions for emerging drugs and can identify the most relevant information on the biomedical network.
