A university-led team has earned international recognition after its innovative artificial intelligence project rose to the top tier of one of the world’s largest global hackathons.
AURA, short for AI Unified Research Atlas, was named the Houston 2025 award winner at the NASA International Space Apps Challenge and selected as a global nominee, placing the project among the top 5% of teams worldwide.
An AI-powered tool designed to make NASA’s space life science research more accessible and easier to explore, AURA helps students, educators, and researchers navigate and understand complex scientific material, including more than 200,000 pages of data, through an intuitive, AI-driven interface.
See how the UTHealth Houston team earns NASA Space Apps honor by building an AI-powered platform that’s making complex scientific research easier to explore for students, educators, and researchers at go.uth.edu/AURA-AI.

The School of Biomedical Informatics (SBMI) is one of the six schools of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), which is a component of the 14 institutions of The University of Texas System.
SBMI is the only academic biomedical informatics program in Texas, the only free-standing school among related programs in the nation, and one of the largest programs of its kind in the world.
As a global academic leader in the areas of artificial intelligence, data science, and informatics for medicine and healthcare, SBMI is helping the world reshape the future of medicine and healthcare through active engagement in the AI Revolution.
At SBMI, we collect, process, and convert data—ranging from molecules to populations—into actionable information, knowledge, and intelligence; we educate current and future leaders, innovators, and problem solvers across Texas, the nation, and the world; and we disrupt, transform, and innovate to elicit biomedical discoveries, improve healthcare delivery, and aid in disease prevention by conducting outstanding basic and applied research and developing impactful information technology products and solutions.
Our expertise comprehends three broad areas of education and research: (1) Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, (2) Clinical and Health Informatics, and (3) Bioinformatics and Systems Medicine. Moreover, SBMI’s education programs are designed to cover the broadest student needs, including several Graduate Certificate programs (fully online), two MS programs (research and applied; both online and in-person), two doctoral degrees (PhD - emphasizing research and Doctorate of Health Informatics [DHI] - emphasizing application and executive training), and a growing number of dual-degree programs (e.g., MD/MS, PhD/MPH, and MS/MPH, etc.).
At SBMI, we are Transforming Data to Power Human Healthâ„¢.
