How AWS is helping shape their business:
AWS empowers Sonrai to accelerate precision medicine research, cutting study timelines by 50% while enabling secure, scalable data analysis.
The Opportuntiy
Before AWS, Sonrai's pipeline relied on manual processes that were time-consuming and error-prone, limiting the company’s ability to interpret vast amounts of biomedical data quickly and effectively. This created bottlenecks in therapeutic development and clinical trial analysis.
The Strategy
Sonrai implemented AWS Bedrock and AWS SageMaker to automate data processing and analysis workflows. Its solution architecture leverages AWS HealthOmics for FASTQ processing, while AWS security services ensure data protection. This comprehensive approach enables faster research timelines while maintaining compliance standards.
Business Outcomes

Research Speed
Reduced timelines for research study by 50% through automated data processing and analysis.

Data Processing
Achieved 5x faster data annotation and interpretation through AI-powered automation.

Cost Efficiency
Decreased experiment costs by $20,000 through optimized resource utilization.

Security and Compliance
Established secure, segregated environments for each client with comprehensive AWS security controls.

AWS Bedrock has expedited our adoption of generative AI. It has allowed us to explore and experiment in a cost-effective manner and work towards a full commercial solution without needing to build complex infrastructure. Instead, we have been able to focus on delivering hyper-specific capabilities within precision medicine.”
