AstraZeneca Uses AWS to Do the Heavy Lifting while It Focuses on Delivering Business Value

AstraZeneca is a global, science-led, patient-focused pharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the future of healthcare by unlocking the power of science for people, society, and the planet. Listen as Amrik Mahal, global IT head for research for AstraZeneca, describes how the traditional method of testing and analytics for new drugs was manual and increasingly labor intensive. Now the company has embraced artificial intelligence (AI) and uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) managed services wherever possible including Amazon Aurora, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon OpenSearch Service, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EKS. Using AWS, AstraZeneca has been very successful with its small molecule portfolio and is transitioning to biologics and beyond. The company has also transformed its R&D to deliver medicines to patients much more quickly.
