NEW YORK – Bioinformatics software company Basepair said Friday that it has signed a distribution agreement with Sciencewerke, a provider of life sciences tools, clinical diagnostics, and medical devices in Southeast Asia.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Under the deal, Sciencewerke will distribute New York-headquartered Basepair's federated bioinformatics platform across key markets in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, with plans for future expansion.
