What becomes possible when you can see more?
The next direction for your research may begin with tissue you have already collected. Investigate molecular patterns across an archive, follow a result beyond its original panel, or bring earlier measurements into a new study of the tissue.
Aurora provides virtual spatial transcriptomics: predicted, spatially resolved gene expression from H&E images.
Explore molecular patterns across a cohort
Take existing measurements further
Bring a spatial perspective to your molecular data.
Revisit existing bulk RNA findings in their tissue context, using sample-matched profiles to inform predicted gene maps.
- You bring
- A digitised H&E slide and a bulk RNA table from the same tissue block.
- Relevant to
- Pharma & Biotech · Biobanks
Follow discoveries beyond your original panel.
Follow a finding beyond the genes you originally selected, with additional predictions in the tissue regions your experiment already measured.
Arranged with our team
- You bring
- An H&E image and measured spatial expression, with coordinates for each spot.
- Relevant to
- Academia & Research · Sequencing & Core Facilities
Build a wider study from the samples you measured.
Use measured examples from your own cohort to extend molecular investigation to other slides, or revisit genes lost during quality control as labelled predictions.
Arranged with our team
- You bring
- A few slides with measured spatial expression and a matching H&E image for each.
- Relevant to
