Situation
Federal agencies such as NIH, FDA, and NCI are leading efforts in biomedical research, yet many of their scientific programs rely on outdated infrastructure and fragmented workflows. To advance precision medicine, regulatory science, and pandemic response, these agencies needed expert support in proteomics, sequencing, bioinformatics, and data analytics. Cognizance Technologies was engaged to modernize these systems, enhance data integration, and support high-impact research initiatives through specialized technical expertise.
Challenge
The agencies faced several pressing challenges: legacy systems limited scalability and interoperability; scientific workflows were inefficient and lacked automation; multimodal datasets required harmonization and secure handling; and strict federal compliance standards demanded robust cybersecurity. Additionally, the urgency of public health crises like COVID-19 required rapid deployment of scalable informatics pipelines and real-time analytics capabilities.
Solution
- Delivered advanced bioinformatics and AI/ML support for gene expression analysis, drug safety signal detection, and cohort matching.
- Built secure, cloud-native platforms using AWS GovCloud, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures.Automated scientific workflows and statistical computing environments to streamline research and regulatory review.
- Supported FAIR-compliant data models and ontology-driven APIs for harmonized data exchange.
- Enabled cross-agency collaboration through integrated platforms across FDA RAPID, NCI CRRI, NIAID NEAT, and FDA SSS programs.
Results
- Modernized legacy systems and improved efficiency in clinical trials and regulatory workflows.
- Enabled ingestion of over 300 million records annually and supported real-time analytics.
- Strengthened data security with FISMA-moderate controls and DevSecOps pipelines.
- Accelerated biomedical discoveries and enhanced research capabilities across federal programs.
- Positioned agencies for future innovation with scalable, interoperable infrastructure.
