The Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) based genetic diagnostics has revolutionized our ability to identify and understand rare diseases, particularly in pediatric cases where early diagnosis, sometimes within a few hours to days, can dramatically improve patient outcomes. However, WGS needs significant computational resources for analyzing genomic data, which presents a challenge to academic medical centers to balance between flexibility, scalability, speed, and cost. The Department of Human Genetics at Hannover Medical School (MHH), one of Germany’s leading university hospitals, has developed an innovative solution to this challenge by using AWS.

This post demonstrates PacBio’s whole genome sequencing variant pipeline implementation on AWS HealthOmics, offering performance optimization insights and evidence-based recommendations for cost-effective deployment at scale based on extensive benchmarking.

In this post, we explore how to build a sophisticated meeting transcription and analysis platform using AWS services, designed specifically for the scientific community. Our solution combines the power of AWS Transcribe, Amazon Bedrock, and other Amazon Web Services (AWS) services to create an intelligent tool that transforms how researchers document and analyze their discussions.

AWS provides innovative health researchers with the agility, adaptivity, and resilience they need to accelerate their research. Because of this, AWS expanded the scope of its commitment to Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Sprint for Women’s Health performers to include its Spark funding track awardees. These awardees focus on transformative early-stage research in women’s health.

Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union (MHVFCU) needed to automate their tools and develop advanced forecasting capabilities to make informed decisions for deposit management and growth to maximize benefit for their members. For this purpose, MHVFCU leadership sought a solution that would not only save time in data preparation and analysis but also provide accurate forecasts for balances across four key deposit products: savings, checking, certificate deposits (CDs), and money market. Read this post to learn about the solution they built with AWS.

California Credit Union successfully used AWS to enhance its disaster recovery and backup capabilities for its core banking system, Fiserv DNA. This post explores how the credit union overcame challenges, improved its resilience, and set the stage for future innovations in financial services.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently uncovered how a structure known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which transports “bad” cholesterol through the bloodstream, interacts with its receptor molecule to enter cells—information that has eluded researchers for decades. The findings could lead to more personalized treatments for cardiovascular disease and were enabled by cutting-edge high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure from AWS.

Many government agencies, like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), participate in the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program. In this post, we discuss how to use NOAA datasets in the Registry of Open Data on AWS using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases.

In a landmark partnership that promises to transform both health sciences research and athletics, the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have announced the establishment of the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences and Sports Analytics Cloud Innovation Center (CIC), powered by AWS.
