The Juniper Story
A vision in high definition.
Every IVF journey is filled with crucial decisions, each moment filled with hope for a healthy baby. One pivotal decision stands out: choosing which embryo to transfer for pregnancy. In this moment, the entire genome of each embryo is set, and every genetically determinable aspect of its future is knowable.
Unfortunately, IVF patients today are getting only a tiny fraction of that genetic information. Worse, they often lack crucial data about the genetics that influence whether they will have a successful pregnancy or suffer a loss.
That’s why Juniper Genomics was created. We are the only company using whole genome and transcriptome data to identify viable embryos and avoid unsuccessful transfers. We provide IVF patients with the most comprehensive data on the genetics of their embryos, empowering them with knowledge during these critical moments to help ensure a successful IVF journey.
