Scientists can now generate more data in a single day than they could in the preceding decade. Today, translating this deluge of data into actionable insights has become the rate-limiting step to scientific discovery. Researchers struggle to access the computational infrastructure, niche informatics tooling, and data science expertise required to realize the full potential of their experiments. Dr. Mark Kalinich discusses these challenges, reviews the available solutions, and shares how Watershed's Omics Bench brings together these disparate resources into one unified ecosystem on the cloud, empowering scientists to transform today’s fragmented data into tomorrow’s precision medicines.
