Genetic data is the blueprint for your whole body—so protecting it is non-negotiable. In this interview, Benedikt Schur from Hannover Medical School (MHH) explains how the Department of Human Genetics processes over 10,000 patient samples a year up to 8 times faster using AWS, while keeping highly sensitive genetic data within Germany through the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
Benedikt shares how the team uses AWS Batch, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)—including specialised Illumina DRAGEN instances—to run high-volume whole-genome sequencing workloads that cut processing from several hours down to 1 hour. He also discusses why data residency is critical for the healthcare sector, how the AWS European Sovereign Cloud supports German medical data requirements, and how MHH plans to apply AI across the entire patient journey to enable faster, more precise clinical decisions.
