Cloud native tools such as Kubernetes and Argo Workflows are improving productivity, accelerating innovation, and increasing operational efficiency. These tools reduce the burden of infrastructure management by enabling efficient and scalable management of complex computing tasks.

At Dyno Therapeutics, we have not only built a proprietary engine that leverages Kubernetes and Argo Workflows for our ML-guided design of AAV capsids, but we have also contributed to the open source community by developing and releasing Hera. Hera is a project that simplifies access to Argo Workflows, and we use it to design and execute complex workflows for vector design, biological data processing, and large scale data ingestion.

To learn more about how we’re leveraging the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ecosystem to scale our gene therapy research efforts at Dyno Therapeutics, check out our abstract and full talk below on “Scaling Gene Therapy Research with Argo Workflows and Hera” from ArgoCon 2023.

Abstract:
The use of cloud native tools such as Kubernetes and Argo Workflows is becoming increasingly popular across various domains, including gene therapy. These tools enable efficient and scalable management of complex computing tasks, allowing researchers and engineers to focus on their core product rather than infrastructure management. This has led to improved productivity, increased innovation, and increased operational efficiency. At Dyno Therapeutics, we use our proprietary engine called Dynet to generate and consume massive amounts of data to design and test vectors used for the delivery of gene therapy. Dyno leverages Kubernetes, Argo Workflows, and Hera to define, orchestrate, and execute complex workflows used for vector design, biological data processing, and large scale data ingestion. This talk will showcase novel applications of Argo Workflows and Kubernetes from a field as novel as gene therapy, and illustrate how tech products, such as Hera, from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ecosystem help scale gene therapy research and engineering efforts.
