arXiv:2608. 01734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting transcriptomic responses to small-molecule perturbations across cell lines is central to drug discovery, but exhaustive profiling of drug-cell combinations is infeasible.

Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles. Preclinical transfer-learning models can simulate drug-induced expression changes but are often hard to interpret and unstable, whereas knowledge-graph methods provide mechanistic context yet remain static and fail to capture drug-induced transcriptomic perturbation dynamics.
