Next Generation Biomedical Research using AWS

With advancements in cloud-based technologies, we are closer to translating basic scientific research into novel therapeutic strategies. This session will emphasize AWS Architectures for Biomedical Research through the stories of two institutes making waves in the research world. The National Institute of Health will discuss their Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability (STRIDES) Initiative to accelerate new biomedical discoveries by providing a cloud-based platform to store, share, access, and compute on digital objects. Next, the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program will explore how researchers uncover new insights into the biology of childhood cancer and structural birth defects -- as well as Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) solutions. Their mission through the OHDSI is to improve health by empowering communities through large-scale analytics of observational health data using AWS CloudFormation, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, and Amazon Comprehend Medical.
