SOPHiA GENETICS (NASDAQ: SOPH) announced a strategic partnership with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center on January 7, 2026, to combine its AI‑powered SOPHiA DDM platform with MD Anderson’s clinical and scientific expertise. The collaboration will focus on developing new research and development programs and a next‑generation sequencing oncology test that leverages SOPHiA’s advanced AI algorithms to translate complex multimodal data into actionable insights at greater speed and scale.
The co‑developed test will use SOPHiA’s AI to process genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data, while MD Anderson researchers will build bioinformatics pipelines that enable clinicians to interpret RNA‑sequencing results quickly for cancer diagnosis and treatment decisions. The partnership is designed to accelerate the translation of AI‑driven precision oncology into clinical practice, positioning both organizations at the forefront of data‑centric cancer care.
From a business perspective, the collaboration expands SOPHiA’s reach into one of the world’s leading cancer research institutions, strengthening its presence in the precision‑medicine market and opening new revenue opportunities through joint product development and clinical implementation. The partnership also signals to investors that SOPHiA is actively pursuing high‑impact collaborations that can accelerate its platform adoption in oncology, a key growth segment.
MD Anderson’s Division Head of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Donna Hansel, emphasized the value of integrating advanced analytics into cancer research: “Our collaboration with SOPHiA GENETICS reflects how our lab is evolving and integrating advanced analytics and AI to better interpret complex molecular information. This partnership will expand our ability to translate high‑dimensional data into insights that can meaningfully advance research and precision oncology.” Philippe Menu, Chief Product Officer and Chief Medical Officer at SOPHiA GENETICS, highlighted the strategic intent: “The collaboration will accelerate breakthroughs in precision oncology and enable global access to advanced cancer technologies.”
SOPHiA’s financial performance provides context for the partnership’s potential impact. In Q2 2025, the company reported revenue of $18.3 million, up 16% year‑over‑year, and an adjusted gross margin of 74.4%. Management reiterated its full‑year 2025 revenue guidance of $72 million to $76 million, underscoring confidence in continued growth as the platform scales. The collaboration is expected to contribute to future revenue streams by expanding the platform’s oncology footprint and accelerating the commercialization of the new sequencing test.
The announcement was well received by investors, with analysts noting the strategic significance of partnering with a leading cancer research institution. The collaboration is viewed as a key milestone that could enhance SOPHiA’s competitive positioning and drive future growth in the precision‑medicine market.
