    Sonrai, a leading AI precision medicine company accelerating the development of therapeutics through advanced analytics, and Paige, a leader in next-generation AI technology, have announced a strategic partnership to better enable biopharma researchers, pathologists, and clinicians to harness cutting-edge AI capabilities for precision medicine research and development.

    By integrating Paige’s state-of-the-art foundation models with Sonrai’s intuitive cloud-based data analysis and bioinformatics platform, the partnership makes AI, machine learning, and multi-modal data integration accessible to non-technical users, creating the ability for more organizations to access a wide range of critical R&D needs without requiring deep AI expertise. This important collaboration will help bring a powerful set of solutions to the market that can accelerate drug discovery, biomarker identification, targeted therapeutics and precision medicine applications.

    Sonrai’s flagship product, Sonrai Discovery, expedites the identification and development of therapeutic targets, improving patient outcomes through AI. The Sonrai Discovery platform supports the integration and analysis of diverse datasets, including multi-omics (such as transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.), imaging, and clinical data. Through this partnership, the platform will incorporate Paige’s multi-modal foundation model suite, allowing biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to manage and analyze their precision medicine data while supporting no-code applications for non-technical users. Paige’s Foundation models are considered to be state-of-the-art, built on enormous pathologic and genomic data sets, generalizable, and they are already accelerating the development of a growing portfolio of prognostic and predictive markers.   

    “We are thrilled to partner with Paige to unlock new possibilities for biopharma researchers and clinicians”, said Prof. Darragh McArt, CEO and Founder, Sonrai Analytics. “By combining our Sonrai Discovery platform with Paige’s foundation models, we are making AI and machine learning more accessible, enabling researchers to extract deeper insights from their data and accelerate precision medicine breakthroughs.”
