Assessing in vivo tissue toxicity of therapeutic targets remains a major challenge in drug development and drug safety research. We developed TissueTox, an algorithm that learns from multi-omic features of a target protein and predicts toxicity in human body systems and tissues. Predicted TissueTox scores accurately differentiate drugs that failed clinical trials from those that succeeded, and, importantly, can be used to identify the tissues where toxic events occurred.

Matching journals

The top 6 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
