The COVID Craft Initiative, led by HealthECCO and the German Center for Diabetes Research, is harnessing graph technology to aid in research against COVID-19. The team uses Neo4j to connect data from various sources, including patterns, publications, and molecular data, to create a comprehensive knowledge graph. This initiative has won a 2021 Graphie Award and has been recognized as a groundbreaking medical research project. The team's backgrounds in bioinformatics and computer science have empowered their work, with Alexander Jarasch bringing his expertise in managing data and Martin Preusse leveraging his experience with Neo4j to drive the project forward. They highlight the ease of integrating data, visualizing results, and facilitating communication among researchers as key benefits of using graph technology. The team projects that graph technology will play a significant role in future medical research, particularly in knowledge graph development and graph-native learning.
