Context

Drug-drug interactions occur when two or more drugs react with each other, resulting in unexpected (and potentially fatal) adverse reactions.

Being a data scientist with a background in clinical pharmacy, I was keen to leverage my domain knowledge to explore the data around drug interactions.

Given that drug-drug interactions involve linkages between multiple entities, it would be apt to conduct the exploration of these drug interactions with networks at the core.
