Using Aurora in research

Use Aurora to explore molecular patterns, form hypotheses and focus measured follow-up. Start with promising samples, regions and genes, then test the questions that matter.

For research use only. Aurora is not a medical device. A prediction is a hypothesis about what an assay would have measured: it is not a measurement and not evidence about a patient.

Predictions guide research: use them to choose the slides, the regions and the genes worth measuring. Whether a particular use counts as research use is a judgement for you and your institution.

The binding text is the published Terms

https://auroraomics.org/terms is the agreement and the only authoritative copy of it. What follows is a plain-language summary of the parts that decide how these models may be used, and it has no legal force of its own.

Where the two differ, the published Terms are what you accepted. The Privacy Policy is at https://auroraomics.org/privacy.

You must be allowed to upload it

Confirm that your institution, ethical approval and third-party rights permit the upload. Obtain any required permissions before submitting data.

Anonymisation is yours to do

Remove patient identifiers, personal data and protected health information before submission, including identifiers in slide metadata. Aurora does not remove identifiers for you.

Not a medical device

Use Aurora for non-clinical research only. It is not a medical device and must not guide diagnosis, treatment, monitoring or clinical decisions.

The outputs can be wrong

Predictions can contain errors and reflect biases in training data. Validate findings with measured experiments. The Terms provide no warranty; you remain responsible for acting on results.
