+**Speaker**: Soheila Molaei,  PhD Candidate @ University of Oxford
+**Title**: From Graphs to Graph Neural Networks: Foundations and Applications in Healthcare
+**Abstract**:
+In this talk, I will introduce the foundations of graph theory and graph neural networks, starting from intuitive examples of real-world graphs such as social networks, molecules, road networks, and biomedical interaction networks. I will explain why graph-structured data challenges standard machine learning assumptions, and how GNNs use message passing and representation learning to model complex relationships. The talk will then cover common GNN tasks, including node classification, link prediction, and graph classification, before introducing key models such as graph convolutional networks and graph attention networks. I will conclude with applications in healthcare, including medical graphs, drug discovery, and patient modelling.
