AWS and the University of Luxembourg have signed a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance education through the use of cutting-edge cloud technology. The MoU aims to strengthen the collaboration in cloud computing, focusing on skills development, research, and artificial intelligence (AI) integration. Read this post to learn more.

When Siriraj Medical Research Center planned their “Nanopore workshop: bacterial genome bioinformatics series” for more than 60 researchers, they faced a common challenge: how to provide consistent, high-performance computing environments for complex genomic analyses. AWS offered the solution through Amazon WorkSpaces, transforming how Siriraj Medical Research Center delivers hands-on bacterial genomics training.

In today’s complex procurement landscape, creating comprehensive and accurate statements of work scopes can present a challenge for university procurement teams. To address this growing challenge, the Digital Transformation Hub (DxHub) at Cal Poly—powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and part of the AWS Cloud Innovation Centers (CIC) program—took action. The DxHub collaborated with the university’s Strategic Business Services department to create “Scope Builder,” a generative AI-powered application that aims to revolutionize how procurement specialists develop work scopes for university requests for proposals (RFPs) and contracts.

U.S. State and Local Government (SLG) organizations often have requirements to host regulated workloads with distinct compliance requirements. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides U.S. SLG customers with an approach to meet compliance needs by using AWS GovCloud (US) regions or AWS U.S. commercial regions. In this post, we will explain how some U.S. SLG regulated workloads can be hosted in the AWS U.S. commercial regions.

In this post, we will discuss how MSBMI and CDHI joined forces to address UTHealth Houston’s reliance on faxing. The MSBMI and CDHI team—supported by UTHealth Houston Information Technology and Amazon Web Services (AWS)—built, deployed, and migrated a new solution called iDFax.

Learn how to build an AI coding assistant that meets stringent security requirements for federal customers. This technical guide demonstrates how to combine AWS AI services, open source development tools, and secure infrastructure to accelerate software development while maintaining complete control over model selection and architectural decisions in both AWS GovCloud (US) and commercial AWS Regions.

This post is part four of a four-part series that addresses how a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE) can be a viable solution to address the challenges of digital transformation. In this post, we discuss a framework for defining organizational areas of responsibility.

The Metropolitan Police Department of Washington DC (DC-MPD) is one of the ten largest police agencies in the United States, serving as the primary law enforcement entity for the District of Columbia. Embracing cutting-edge technology provided by AWS, DC-MPD has integrated evidence analysis techniques with state-of-the-art information technology to advance crime-mapping, real-time crime statistics dashboards, and summary statistics for a holistic view of crime dynamics.

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.

At AWS re:Invent 2024, which took place last December in Las Vegas, Amazon Web Services (AWS) unveiled an array of cutting-edge innovations during a week of keynotes, innovation talks, breakout sessions, product launches, interactive demos, and networking opportunities. In this post, we highlight the key takeaways from AWS re:Invent 2024 for government agencies.
