Breakthrough high-performance computing solution delivers 3x higher throughput, cost efficiency, and faster life-saving discoveries

MANILA, Philippines, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lenovo today shared updates on the 4th generation of its Genomics Optimization and Scalability Tool – GOAST v4.0. Since its introduction in 2020, GOAST has been advancing genome sequencing across industries including pharma, healthcare, agriculture, and drug discovery. The latest version reduces genome processing to as little as 24 minutes per whole genome sequence, with a single node capable of processing ~22,000 genomes annually, nearly triple the throughput of earlier releases. With each human genome comprising around 3 billion DNA base pairs, GOAST v4.0 is literally decoding trillions of cells to power breakthroughs in science and medicine.

The Science of Speed: Transforming Genomics and Future of Healthcare

By cutting genome analysis from days to minutes, GOAST v4.0 empowers researchers, clinicians, and pharma companies to accelerate precision medicine, cancer research, drug discovery, and national health programs. Delivering GPU-level performance on optimized CPUs at up to 50% lower cost, GOAST makes high-throughput genomics accessible to institutions of all sizes through Lenovo’s pay-as-you-go High-Performance Computing (HPC)-as-a-Service model, TruScale.

“GOAST v4.0 breaks bioinformatics bottlenecks by combining Lenovo’s HPC expertise with genomics innovation,” said Sumir Bhatia, President, Lenovo ISG Asia Pacific. “With this leap in performance and efficiency, we are enabling real-time discoveries that can save lives and advance global health equity.”

Key Advancements with GOAST v4.0

• Speed: Genome processing cut from 68–150 hours to just 24 minutes, a 375x improvement.
• Throughput: Up to ~22,000 genomes processed per node annually, supporting population-scale genomics.
• Affordability: GPU-level performance at significantly lower cost.
• Accessibility: Pay-as-you-go Lenovo TruScale HPC-as-a-Service, lowering barriers for labs and public health agencies.
• Sustainability: Water-cooled HPC systems reduce power consumption by up to 40%.

GOAST is already in use at leading institutes worldwide, including the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research – Institute of Genomics & Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) and University of Delhi in India, BRIN (Indonesia), Novo Genomics (Saudi Arabia), and the Biobank of Thailand. A leading children’s hospital in Australia is deploying GOAST to scale its genomics research, while companies in the Philippines are investing in high-performance computing for banking and weather applications, pointing to growing opportunities for GOAST in new markets. GOAST is currently being deployed in a leading medicine research institute in the Philippines. In India, multiple pharma companies are using GOAST to optimize cancer research, accelerate drug discovery, and improve treatments, showcasing its transformative impact across the healthcare ecosystem.

Beyond genomics acceleration, GOAST also demonstrates how AI and HPC together are enabling downstream innovations, from smarter algorithm design to more precise bioinformatics workflows, further strengthening its role as a platform for next-generation precision health.

Lenovo’s unique advantage lies in its ability to bring healthcare experts, scientists, and medical researchers together with HPC hardware and software engineers, creating multi-layered platforms like GOAST that deliver both speed and scientific depth, all focused on solving humanity’s greatest challenges.

As part of Lenovo’s Smarter AI for All vision, GOAST v4.0 combines the best of HPC and AI to accelerate scientific breakthroughs, making genomics research faster, more cost-effective, and globally accessible.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Smartee Denti-Technology hosted a delegation of orthodontic specialists from Europe and Asia at its Shanghai headquarters and digital production facilities. The visit combined advanced mandibular repositioning lectures, clinical visits, and cultural exchange, highlighting how Smartee’s innovations — from mandibular repositioning solutions to pediatric orthodontic systems — are shaping next-generation orthodontic care.

Advancing Clinical Practice with Invisible Mandibular Repositioning

During an academic session at Smartee HQ, visiting doctors explored the GS mandibular repositioning protocol — a clear-aligner–based approach used in the management of skeletal Class II cases.

Dr. Camilla Molinari from Italy,described her experience of applying Smartee solutions and the clinical impact:
“I started using Smartee GS clear aligner products almost one and a half years ago, especially the S8-SGTB and S8-SGHB. GS changed my way of treating deep bite cases, and especially Class II malocclusions. It has transformed not only the way we diagnose and plan cases, but also how we think about orthodontics from both a technological and biomechanical perspective.”

Pediatric & Teen Solutions: Growth-Oriented Care with Engaging Design

Treating growing patients was another focus of the visit. Dr. Erica Barina from Italy highlighted both the clinical and emotional value of Smartee Teen:
“As an orthodontic expert, I’ve tried different brands, but Smartee Teen is unique. The connection with Disney motivates children and supports their cooperation. Clinically, Smartee Teen goes beyond dental-alveolar issues to assist skeletal therapy — for example, we can combine the aligner with a facial mask, enabling treatment to start earlier.”

From Thailand, Dr. Kurupin shared similar enthusiasm:
“Two of my patients chose the Elsa version and loved it immediately. Kids and parents are excited as soon as they see the package. Because they enjoy it, I get much better cooperation. The playful packaging really makes a difference.”

Building Bridges Through Innovation and Culture

Alongside technical sessions, the delegation visited Smartee’s manufacturing center and experienced aspects of Shanghai’s culture, underscoring how international dialogue supports the evolution of orthodontic care.

Smartee will continue to collaborate with clinicians worldwide, developing digital, patient-focused orthodontic solutions that enhance treatment efficiency, predictability, and comfort across all age groups.
