In this post, we detail how Metagenomi partnered with AWS to implement the Progen2 protein language model on AWS Inferentia, achieving up to 56% cost reduction for high-throughput enzyme generation workflows. The implementation enabled cost-effective generation of millions of novel enzyme variants using EC2 Inf2 Spot Instances and AWS Batch, demonstrating how cloud-based generative AI can make large-scale protein design more accessible for biotechnology applications .

This post explores how Indegene’s Social Intelligence Solution uses advanced AI to help life sciences companies extract valuable insights from digital healthcare conversations. Built on AWS technology, the solution addresses the growing preference of HCPs for digital channels while overcoming the challenges of analyzing complex medical discussions on a scale.

In this post, we demonstrate how to create a powerful research assistant for drug discovery using Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock. This AI assistant can search multiple scientific databases simultaneously using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), synthesize its findings, and generate comprehensive reports on drug targets, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic areas.

When a regulatory body like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) introduces changes to regulations, organizations are required to evaluate the changes against their internal SOPs. When necessary, they must update their SOPs to align with the regulation changes and maintain compliance. In this post, we show different approaches using Amazon Bedrock to identify relationships between regulation changes and SOPs.

In this post, we demonstrate how to use H-optimus-0 for two common digital pathology tasks: patch-level analysis for detailed tissue examination, and slide-level analysis for broader diagnostic assessment. Through practical examples, we show you how to adapt this FM to these specific use cases while optimizing computational resources.

In this post, we discuss how to use AWS to support a decentralized clinical trial across the four main pillars of a decentralized clinical trial (virtual trials, personalized patient engagement, patient-centric trial design, and centralized data management). By exploring these AWS powered alternatives, we aim to demonstrate how organizations can drive progress towards more environmentally friendly clinical research practices.

In this post, we demonstrate how to efficiently fine-tune a state-of-the-art protein language model (pLM) to predict protein subcellular localization using Amazon SageMaker. Proteins are the molecular machines of the body, responsible for everything from moving your muscles to responding to infections. Despite this variety, all proteins are made of repeating chains of molecules called […]

Drug development is a complex and long process that involves screening thousands of drug candidates and using computational or experimental methods to evaluate leads. According to McKinsey, a single drug can take 10 years and cost an average of $2.6 billion to go through disease target identification, drug screening, drug-target validation, and eventual commercial launch. […]

Predictive maintenance is a data-driven maintenance strategy for monitoring industrial assets in order to detect anomalies in equipment operations and health that could lead to equipment failures. Through proactive monitoring of an asset’s condition, maintenance personnel can be alerted before issues occur, thereby avoiding costly unplanned downtime, which in turn leads to an increase in […]

Chronomics is a tech-bio company that uses biomarkers—quantifiable information taken from the analysis of molecules—alongside technology to democratize the use of science and data to improve the lives of people. Their goal is to analyze biological samples and give actionable information to help you make decisions—about anything where knowing more about the unseen is important. […]
