Leverage generative AI for biocuration using Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Nova foundation models

Personalized therapy for diseases such as cancer utilizes an individual’s unique genomic profile to guide treatment decisions. However, the effect and clinical significance of most genetic variants are uncertain. Accurate classification of the clinical significance of novel genetic variants requires extensive curation of peer-reviewed biomedical literature. In recent years, generative AI has demonstrated promising results in information extraction and text summarization. In this post, we explore how various AWS-native solutions can be used to create a secure, retrieval-augmented, and cost-effective biomedical chatbot designed to facilitate biocuration.

4 best practices to enhance research IT operations with AWS

Academic research IT departments around the world face the same challenge: how to balance their existing on-premises infrastructure with the opportunities of cloud computing. At the Supercomputing 2024 (SC24) conference, Amazon Web Services hosted a panel featuring two research IT leaders: Circe Tsui, associate director of solutions architecture at Emory University in the Office of Information Technology, and Dr. Robert Shen, director of the RMIT AWS Supercomputing Hub (RACE) at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). During the panel, Tsui and Shen shared how their institutions use AWS to augment and enhance their research operations with more scalability, security, and collaboration alongside their on-premises infrastructure.

Empowering zero trust in public sector with Cisco Umbrella for Government on AWS

Zero trust in the US public sector has become critical, especially as cyber threats targeting government agencies grow more complex and sophisticated. In line with the federal mandate for zero trust architecture (ZTA) outlined in Executive Order M-22-09, government agencies are required to adopt a comprehensive security framework that continuously verifies trust for every access request. In this post, we demonstrate how Cisco Umbrella for Government, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), plays a key role in ZTA by providing multi-layered security and granular visibility across on premises and AWS.
