NEW YORK – SmartLabs and Sonrai Analytics said Thursday that they are partnering to integrate Sonrai's artificial intelligence capabilities into SmartLabs' research center network.

Under the agreement, Boston-based SmartLabs will begin offering the Sonrai Discovery AI-enabled analytics platform to its member companies. The partners will also develop new laboratory informatics and bespoke AI applications to integrate experimental and infrastructure data to "predict scientific outcomes and accelerate discovery," they noted in a statement.

Sonrai, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, markets its cloud-based Sonrai Discovery platform to help biotech and pharmaceutical companies streamline diagnostic workflows, enhance molecular profiling, and accelerate biomarker discovery by integrating imaging and omics data in a secure data ecosystem. Embedding these capabilities into SmartLabs' five managed research centers will provide its member companies with access to the platform as well as exclusive informatics and AI applications.

"By enabling faster insights and deeper understanding of complex datasets, we help accelerate groundbreaking discoveries and the development of next-generation personalized therapeutics," Darragh McArt, founder and CEO of Sonrai, said in a statement.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
