The rapid expansion of biomedical data and the growing demand for personalized healthcare haveunderscored the need for intelligent drug recommendation systems that can effectively integrateand analyze heterogeneous information. This thesis introduces HyGraphRx, a comprehensiveframework designed to construct heterogeneous biomedical graphs and apply hybrid optimizationtechniques to enhance the accuracy and reliability of drug recommendations.
