Fighting Pediatric Cancer with Big Data
summary
Dell and TGen build a pipeline that sequences tumors, optimizes analysis tools on an ~8–9 teraflop system, and stores results in a HIPAA-compliant cloud plus a treatment knowledge base, aimed at the first personalized pediatric oncology trial for neuroblastoma. Processing time shrinks from about two weeks to <2 days, enabled by a 1200% throughput increase in data processing rather than just more hardware, and feeds tumor boards with genotype‑matched treatment options in a disease where late‑stage survival is only 5–15%.
