    Abstract
    This study introduces a novel approach to drug discovery in regenerative medicine through the utilization of a graph neural network
    (GNN). The research methodology integrates the development and training of the GNN with a subsequent evaluation of its performance
    metrics. The first phase involves the generation of synthetic data simulating a biological network, employing networkX and NumPy
    libraries to construct a random graph with Erdos-Renyi topology. The data, representing cellular responses to biomaterials, is then
    converted into PyTorch tensors for compatibility with the GNN architecture. The GNN model, characterized by two fully connected layers
    with ReLU and log-softmax activations, captures intricate relationships within the graph-structured data. The second phase employs
    a stochastic gradient descent algorithm, specifically the Adam optimizer, to train the GNN over 100 epochs using the cross-entropy
    loss for multi-class classification. The research methodology extends to the evaluation phase, producing three distinct output graphs
    for analysis: Visualization of the graph structure, a comparison between predicted and true labels, and a plot illustrating training loss
    over epochs. Performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, are computed to assess the model’s predictive
    capabilities quantitatively. The study concludes with a discussion on the nuances revealed by each graph and their implications for
    refining GNN models in the context of drug discovery for regenerative medicine.
