A Strategic Guide for CIOs and Leaders in Life Science
The 2025 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Life Science in R&D empowers CIOs and R&D leaders to map out which technologies are maturing, which are at risk of hype, and where to prioritize investments for maximum impact.
Laboratory Informatics Suite and Semantic Knowledge Graph are emerging as a transformative capability in the life sciences and broader scientific industries, now positioned in the “Trough of Disillusionment” and “Slope of Enlightenment”, respectively, according to the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Life Science R&D, 2025. We feel this signals a decisive shift—from experimentation and early skepticism to real-world adoption and measurable value.
According to Gartner®, The use of semantic knowledge graph tools can:
- Help accelerate innovation activities, such as discovery of new pathways, disease indications, and therapeutic targets.
- Expose complex relationships and correlations to scientific stakeholders.
- Support collaboration and innovation strategies related to drug discovery, translational medicine, competitive intelligence, and clinical research.
- Interpret relationships among very complicated processes.
The benefit rating was rated as high, which in our view indicates that this is a technology that enables new ways of performing horizontal or vertical processes that will result in significant increased revenue or cost savings for an enterprise.
