Unlocking Cellular Insights: AWS Cloud Solutions for Advanced Omics and Generative AI in Research

Join us for an interactive workshop that bridges cutting-edge cloud computing with advanced omics research and AI innovation. This hands-on session will demonstrate how AWS cloud solutions can accelerate your single-cell analysis workflows while introducing practical applications of generative AI in research settings. Participants will learn how to access and analyze data from AWS Open Data, leveraging AWS services such as AWS HealthOmics. Through guided examples, we'll showcase how to manage complex genomic workflows, and innovative ways to integrate generative AI models with biological research. Whether you're a computational biologist, wet lab researcher, or bioinformatician, you'll leave this workshop with practical knowledge to implement cloud-based solutions that can transform your research capabilities. The session is designed for both cloud beginners and experienced users, with a focus on collaboration, and research acceleration. Bring your laptops and let's go build.
