About Sonrai Analytics

A specialist team that turns complex biomedical data into decision-ready evidence

We work with translational and clinical teams to analyse multi-modal datasets, explain treatment response, and deliver reproducible evidence that supports the decisions that matter.

Why we exist

Why Sonrai Exists

Biomedical data has become too complex for teams to integrate, interpret, and act on consistently. Clinical, molecular, and imaging datasets are often disconnected, making it difficult to generate insights that hold up across programs and lead to confident decisions.

We work alongside translational and clinical teams to connect this data, uncover the biological drivers of response, and deliver the evidence needed to move programs forward.

Founder perspective

Most teams aren't short of data. They're short of decisions. We built Sonrai so that every analysis we deliver moves a program forward, not just adds to the pile.

Built from real translational challenges

Founded by bioinformatics and translational research experts who experienced first-hand how difficult it was to move from data to decision. We built Sonrai to change that.

2018

Founded on a translational research problem

Queens University Belfast bioinformatics researchers build Sonrai to close the gap between complex biomedical data and the decisions it should support.

2018

First commercial biotech partnership

Sonrai delivers its first commercial analysis, validating the approach with real program data.

2019

Roche ACTIONED consortium ($7M programme)

Selected to join a major multi-partner consortium with Roche — one of the largest multi-omic clinical trial analysis programmes of its kind.

2020

Institutional investment to build the platform

First VC funding secured to develop the infrastructure for reproducible, governed analysis at scale.

2021

NIHR award: government-funded AI diagnostics research (£2.2M)

National Institute for Health Research funding validates Sonrai's approach to AI-assisted biomarker analysis.

2022

Sonrai Discovery platform launches

The Sonrai Discovery environment goes live — a secure, reproducible Trusted Research Environment built for multi-modal biomedical analysis.

The platform that underpins every engagement

Secure data governance, reproducible workflows, and traceable outputs across target ID, translational analytics, and patient stratification.

2022

Second funding round secured

Further investment to grow the team and expand analytical capabilities across oncology and precision medicine.

2024

Client base triples. New HQ at Titanic Quarter, Belfast

Significant growth in global demand. Sonrai moves to larger headquarters to support an expanding team and programme portfolio.

Our approach

Why teams choose Sonrai

We work with translational and clinical teams to solve complex data challenges and deliver evidence that directly informs program decisions.

Expert-led delivery

Our bioinformaticians and translational scientists design, run, and interpret every analysis. You get expert judgement, not just outputs.

Integrated multi-modal analysis

We combine clinical, molecular, imaging, and public datasets to generate a complete, biologically grounded view of response and resistance.

Reproducible, traceable outputs

Every analysis is governed, documented, and repeatable. Our outputs can be reviewed, trusted, and built on across teams and programs.

Designed for real decisions

We deliver outputs built to support target selection, patient stratification, biomarker strategy, and clinical direction — not just data summaries.

Infrastructure

Built on a secure, reproducible foundation

All work is delivered within Sonrai's Trusted Research Environment (TRE), ensuring that insights are not only accurate, but reliable and defensible in real-world decision-making.

This is not just a technical requirement. It is what allows our clients to trust the analysis, repeat the process, and present the evidence with confidence.

Sonrai Trusted Research Environment
Governed and secure data access

All data is accessed and processed within a controlled, auditable environment — ensuring security and compliance throughout every engagement.

Fully reproducible analytical workflows

Every analysis is structured so it can be repeated, reviewed, and validated — giving teams the confidence to build on findings across programs.

Traceable outputs at every stage

Every step of the analysis is documented and traceable — from raw data to final evidence — supporting internal reviews and external discussions.

Controlled collaboration across teams

Internal and external teams can collaborate within a governed environment — maintaining data integrity and consistency across the program.
