Data full life cycle management solution
Coping with the challenges of massive data in the field of gene sequencing
With the development of sequencing technology, the amount of gene sequencing data has increased dramatically. It is expected that by 2025, the world will add 40EB (exabytes) of data in the field of genome sequencing every year. To this end, Amazon Cloud Technology provides a full life cycle data management solution in the field of genetic sequencing, which can provide better cost performance and higher availability for the storage, recall and analysis of bioinformatics data at different stages of genetic analysis.
It is worth mentioning that Amazon S3 object storage provides up to eight levels of storage levels, and the automatic tiering function can store data more efficiently and achieve cost savings. At the same time, Amazon Cloud Technology has also extended this function to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) cloud native file storage, further reducing the difficulty of data management.
Amazon Cloud Technology also recently launched the Amazon Omics service during re:Invent 2022. This service is a managed service for storing, analyzing, and interpreting genomics, transcriptomics, and other omics data, and can take into account specific application scenarios. intelligent storage and scheduling requirements. The launch of Amazon Omics can accelerate progress in the fields of new drug research and development, disease diagnosis and treatment.
Unknown Jun is China's first AI pharmaceutical company focusing on intestinal microecological treatment. In the microecological field it studies, just one research sample will consume 100G to 200G of storage capacity. Through the automated data lifecycle management service provided by Amazon Cloud Technology, the company hierarchically stores and archives different data into extremely low-cost storage tiers, effectively reducing storage costs and achieving terabyte-level storage of genetic data while also coping with meet the team’s growing storage needs.
High-performance computing platform on the cloud
Accelerate the development of artificial intelligence-assisted new drugs in the biopharmaceutical field
It often takes more than ten years and billions of dollars in R&D costs for a new drug from discovery to launch. Artificial intelligence-assisted drug development is a powerful tool to break through this anti-Moore's Law. Amazon Cloud Technology provides artificial intelligence new drug R&D service solutions based on high-performance computing (HPC), allowing researchers to set up a high-performance computing platform with millions of vCPUs on Amazon Cloud Technology to develop drugs at the scale of billions of protein molecules. Discovery research. Taking the compound analysis of one billion molecules as an example, it only takes 1 day on Amazon Cloud Technology.
Amazon Cloud Technology has also launched the "Quantum Computing Exploration Drug Discovery Solution", which provides a one-click quantum computing/classical computing hybrid architecture. It calls quantum computing resources through the Amazon Braket quantum computing platform to conduct experiments, providing a platform for quantum computing in medicine. Discovery applications explore new ideas.
Jingtai Technology is the world's leading drug research and development technology company driven by intelligent automation. Currently, the computing and scheduling platform that supports Jingtai Technology's drug research and development business has been built on Amazon Cloud Technology, which can save a lot of operating costs every year. Amazon Cloud Technology can not only meet the resource and cost requirements of Jingtai's business, but can also mobilize large-scale supercomputing resources at any time without purchasing large clusters required for the business. It can also provide bidding instances to achieve excellent computing cost performance. .
Insilicon is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company powered by generative artificial intelligence. They used Amazon cloud technology to build a target identification, molecule design platform, and clinical trial outcome prediction platform, allowing them to find a candidate to treat fibrosis in less than 18 months at a cost of millions of dollars. Drugs, completing the preclinical drug development process from target discovery to compound verification.
Accelerate the construction of industry solutions
Satisfying healthcare industry user experience
Amazon Cloud Technology's team of industry experts and partners have in-depth explored industry application scenarios, combined with rich cloud application development practices, to accelerate the construction of many solutions to meet the digital innovation needs of healthcare and medical equipment companies.
Yitikang's remote ECG diagnosis and treatment platform can fully empower primary care and quickly provide expert diagnosis and treatment services. Using Amazon Cloud Technology, Yitikang has exponentially improved the efficiency of AI model training and inference, and greatly shortened the time to market. An AI model that originally took half a year to launch can now be completed from training to deployment in only about 3 months. The entire online process - and the cloud-based capabilities can easily support model training scenarios with more than ten times the data scale.
Working with partners
Accelerate the cloud construction of industry digital innovation ecological chain
As a leader in cloud computing in the medical and life sciences industry, Amazon Cloud Technology continues to enrich the industry's digital innovation ecological chain - Amazon Cloud Technology and APN Partner Network members have joined forces to provide end-to-end solutions for various innovation scenarios. Tools and services that can be quickly deployed and used are launched on the Cloud Technology Marketplace. Amazon Cloud Technology has also opened 96 life science public data sets, covering important fields such as life sciences, genes, serious diseases, and new crown research.
In addition, the Shanghai Amazon Cloud Technology Life and Health Digital Empowerment Center established in Xuhui District, Shanghai, a city with intensive medical resources, has been officially put into operation in October 2022. It is hoped that through the platform and window of Xuhui District, it will provide services to the region and even the country. Contribute to the high-quality development of the life and health industry.
