“Neo4j’s mission has always been focused on helping organizations make sense of data to solve their most complex business problems.

With Graphs4Good, mission-driven innovators are applying these same principles of graph technology to solve some of society’s greatest challenges – from protecting the planet, to getting to Mars two years ahead of schedule; from investigative journalism, to the fight against cancer, and so much more.”

Impactful initiatives

Pharmaceutical companies are accelerating drug discovery. Agricultural scientists are improving crop yields. Biotech firms are finding new proteins faster.

Graph intelligence makes these breakthroughs possible by explicitly modeling data relationships, revealing hidden connections and patterns in the massive datasets that characterize the modern world. When you understand this critical context, your data becomes knowledge: You see how a parts shortage will ripple through a supply chain, whether an executive sits in the blast radius of a cyberattack, and which high-volume financial transactions are fraudulent.

We’ve looked at how leading researchers in medicine, biotechnology, and drug development have used graph intelligence to drive major breakthroughs and transform their fields. Their stories are remarkable.

Life sciences

Fighting disease with connected insight

With the help of Neo4j, researchers around the globe are using graph technology to end some of the most complex diseases, match clinical trials with patients, and search for cures to fight against cancer.

Here are just a few examples of the incredible work being done across the spectrum of Life Sciences

Helping humanity

Pushing the boundaries of human knowledge

While they originated in mathematics, graphs are advancing research that has global impact. From helping humanity reach for the stars, to creating a graph designed to track space objects and drive sustainability in space, to identifying persons of interest around the globe, graphs give researchers, scientists, investigators, and technologists a new way to find solutions for problems that affect us all.

Pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, here are some examples of the ways graph technology users are making a positive social impact

Investigative journalism

Tracing hidden connections at global scale

Investigative journalism involves finding indirect connections, and with the help of a graph, journalists expose the power of being able to trace these connections at scale. Graph databases helped journalists recognize patterns, strengthen reporting, and understand large datasets during The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists’ (ICIJ) prize-winning investigations, including the Panama Papers, Pandora Papers, and FinCEN Files.
