University of Arizona researchers accelerate rare pediatric disease drug repurposing with AWS

At the University of Arizona (U of A) College of Medicine – Phoenix, a translational neuroscience lab of eight researchers is pursuing a mission to find and repurpose existing drugs as potential treatments for rare pediatric disorders. Working with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the team connected four AWS services into an integrated research pipeline, using generative artificial intelligence (AI) and specialized foundation models to turn raw sequencing data into insights that help identify promising drug candidates. In this post, learn how the lab is using generative AI to expand its research capacity with its current members to pursue scientific breakthroughs for a patient population that is often overlooked.

RareDx: Building a multi-agent AI system to transform rare disease diagnosis

In this post, we demonstrate RareDx, an agentic AI-powered application prototype, built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Web Services (AWS) purpose-built AI services and open source toolkits for Healthcare and Life Sciences. RareDx guides physician geneticists through the entire diagnostic journey; from the first referral letter to the final insurance-coded report.

Generative AI ROI and governance framework for space using Amazon Bedrock

Mission AI ROI strategy framework for space using Amazon Bedrock

This post introduces the Governed Intelligence Framework (GI Framework), giving you a defensible path from AI spending to quantifiable value without compromising governance rigor. Built on Amazon Bedrock by Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the implementation solution, the framework rests on a single argument: ROI, governance, and token optimization form a reinforcing system. None of them deliver results in isolation.

How Muzzy Lane and CSU Global built a crisis intervention roleplay assessment with Amazon Bedrock

How Muzzy Lane and CSU Global built a crisis intervention roleplay assessment with Amazon Bedrock

Colorado State University Global (CSU Global), a 100% online, accredited nonprofit university, set out to take on this opportunity by collaborating with Muzzy Lane, an educational technology company that supports instructional designers to design and deliver roleplay assessments directly in their learning management system (LMS). Muzzy Lane’s Author platform is powered by Amazon Bedrock, which supports its AI capabilities and protects customer data. By using Author, CSU Global designed its high-stakes roleplay assessments for its Bachelor of Science (BS) in Human Services program.

Building an environmental intelligence platform on AWS with open data

In this blog, learn how we built a working prototype of a serverless environmental intelligence platform, where nontechnical users ask questions in plain language and receive answers drawn from open data, published models, and satellite observations. The platform is built on four pillars, as outlined in the following table.

11 organizations, one mission: AWS announces the 2026 Children’s Health Innovation Award recipients

Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the recipients of the 2026 AWS Imagine Grant Children’s Health Innovation Award (CHIA). Whether a child is battling a rare cancer, managing a chronic condition, or growing up downstream from a contaminated waterway, this year’s 10 recipients share a common ambition: using technology to help every child get access to the best possible care.
