Problem
Alzheimer’s Research UK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute faced the classic knowledge management pain point: vast but disconnected data spread across dozens of biomedical databases.
Scientific Knowledge Management
Providing the foundational technology stack that transforms fragmented data into a unified, machine-interpretable engine for innovation
The scientific knowledge gap
Modern R&D generates massive volumes of data, yet most of it remains trapped in disconnected silos, spreadsheets, and the minds of experts. When researchers retire or projects shift, critical institutional knowledge disappears.
Traditional tools find keywords, not scientific meaning. This lack of context forces Pharmaceutical and Material Science teams to recreate work, slows down multidisciplinary collaboration, and prevents AI from being truly effective. The result? Stalled innovation and a “knowledge gap” that gets wider as complexity grows.
A semantic backbone for enhanced discovery
To master this complexity, organizations are moving beyond simple data storage toward Semantic Knowledge Ecosystems. Graphwise provides the essential layer that sits atop existing systems to connect lab results, documents, and expert reasoning into a machine-interpretable network.
- Unified knowledge across silos: Integrate disparate systems via shared ontologies without disruptive data migrations.
- Semantic search & contextual discovery: Search by scientific concept, not just keywords. Understand hierarchies, synonyms, and domain relationships.
- Institutional memory: Model expert assumptions and decisions, ensuring they remain searchable and reusable for future teams.
- AI-ready, high-quality innovation foundations: Provide structured, high-quality data that eliminates AI hallucinations and enables explainable results.
Our Strategic Moat
The Graphwise contribution
We provide the infrastructure required to transform raw data into a trusted semantic backbone, empowering clients and partners to build sophisticated solutions on a governed, scalable foundation.
Semantic Layer Components
Standardize metadata and harmonize vocabularies across structured and unstructured sources. We enable the transition from keyword matching to meaning-based discovery.
Key Benefit:
Cross-domain context and interoperability
Justify your Investment
Semantic intelligence isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it delivers measurable business value:
60%+
Reduction in Manual Effort
Knowledge graphs eliminate the “data hunt” by automatically connecting concepts and structuring data from diverse protocols.
Over 75% time saved on generating complex clinical summaries and scientific reports.- Why it matters: It directly lowers labor costs and frees up Ph.D.-level experts for innovation rather than administrative “data cleaning.”
<1 hour
Regulatory Responses
In regulated industries, speed is a compliance requirement. Our solution enables instant knowledge reuse by matching new inquiries to semantically related historical answers.
- Reduction in regulatory query turnaround from 2 days to under 1 hour.
- Why it matters: Why it matters: Faster responses reduce the risk of compliance breaches, prevent costly project delays, and improve your standing with global health authorities.
10x
faster Hypothesis evaluation
Accelerate the “Time-to-Insight” by surfacing patterns that traditional search misses. A semantic layer connects disparate datasets (e.g., genes, proteins, and literature) to expedite target identification.
- 1000% faster hypothesis generation and evaluation, and target discovery cycles
- Why it matters: Shortening R&D timelines by even a few months can equate to millions in “first-to-market” value and significantly cut the cost of failed leads.

- high-confidence target prioritization
Problem
A research lab at Queen’s University faced a months-long manual validation backlog of over 2,000 potential cancer targets identified through genome-wide screens.
Solution
Through the AI Accelerator Program, Graphwise and the lab integrated GraphDB and the Linked Life Data Inventory to unify 200+ datasets and 80 million scientific publications into a searchable knowledge graph
Results
- Reduced validation and research timelines from months to days
- 500% faster insight discovery
- Increased confidence in target selection with explainable, traceable results
