Marinka Žitnik’s research focuses on the intersection of machine learning and the life sciences, with a particular emphasis on geometric deep learning and data integration. Her highly cited work includes a 2023 analysis of scientific discovery in the age of artificial intelligence, which explores how AI transforms the research process. Publicly indexed outputs suggest a strong focus on pharmacology, notably through her development of graph convolutional networks for modeling polypharmacy side effects, a study with over 1,300 citations. Additionally, her work centers on the creation of large-scale relational structures, such as knowledge graphs designed to enable precision medicine, which provide a framework for integrating disparate biological data types to improve clinical decision-making. Beyond her primary focus on graph neural networks, Žitnik has contributed to foundational software and benchmarking efforts in the machine learning community. She is a contributor to Orange, a data mining toolbox in Python, and has played a role in developing the Open Graph Benchmark for machine learning on graphs. Her collaborative efforts also include a network medicine framework for identifying drug repurposing opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These contributions are complemented by her leadership on the Therapeutics Data Commons, a collection of datasets and tasks designed to standardize machine learning for drug discovery. Together, these works reflect an arc of contribution aimed at building robust, interpretable AI systems that accelerate therapeutic innovation and biomedical data fusion.
