The chapter explores the journey of developing applications in the medical sector, emphasizing the transition from development to production phases and the use of containers like Docker and Kubernetes. They discuss infrastructure decisions regarding cloud services, setting up hardware onsite, and collaborating with IaaS teams for Kubernetes infrastructure deployment. The conversation also covers the utilization of open source tools in genomics bioinformatics, detecting copy number variations in cancer cells through Python-based packages, and translating genetic variants for accurate patient reports using the AGVS Python package.
Python is special. It's used by the big tech companies but also by those you would rarely classify as developers. On this episode, we get a look inside how Python is being used at a Children's Hospital to speed and improve patient care. We have Dr. Somak Roy here to share how he's using Python in his day to day job to help kids get well a little bit faster.
