Our story
At its core, NextGen Jane’s organizing principle has always been the same: this shouldn’t be so hard.
Whether “this” is navigating excruciating period pain, inexplicable infertility, the amorphous transition to menopause, or a difficult pregnancy, it should be easier to find answers. But it’s not. The impediments to receiving care range from cumbersome, expensive procedures required to make a full diagnosis (laparoscopy for endometriosis) to a lack of tests available to help make decisions (are you entering menopause?). If you are lucky to get an appropriate diagnosis, you are often left with poor treatment options (hysterectomy, drugs that induce menopause) or diagnoses that arrive too late (ovarian cancer). At Jane, we are building a foundation of knowledge to impact all of these areas and transforming obstetric and gynecological health through molecular insight.
