Big data, big challenge - how life sciences turn information overload into insight

Big data refers to extremely large and complex data sets that are so massive and intricate they cannot be managed or analyzed by traditional data processing tools.

In life sciences, these vast datasets are generated every day from experiments, clinical records, and screening programs.

Sequencing just one human genome, for example, can produce more than 200 gigabytes of raw data. This scale of information is pivotal for discovery, but only if it can be organized, and made usable.

While data is the bedrock of the life sciences industry, big data introduces practical challenges, not just in storage and security, but in turning information into actionable insight.
