Juno Bio is a women's health company focused on precision vaginal microbiome testing and multi-omics. Recently, the business opened its first CLIA-certified sequencing laboratory in Oakland, California. Dedicated entirely to women's health, this move represents a significant expansion of its clinical infrastructure to scale provider-led care and advance precision diagnostics.
Juno Bio has raised $3.8 million from investors including Ada Ventures, Artesian, Entrepreneur First, and Illumina Accelerator to support this growth. The brand's precision vaginal microbiome testing and multi-omics platform utilizes next-generation sequencing to analyze approximately 10,000 bacteria and fungi alongside four common sexually transmitted infections.
The new clinically actionable test, which builds on the company's original wellness test that sold over 20,000 units organically, is designed to address recurrent infections, fertility concerns, and peri- and menopausal symptoms that are frequently misunderstood or inadequately treated in conventional healthcare settings.
