Next Biosciences: science with heart
Every woman’s reproductive story is unique, and often far from predictable. Some paths are
quick and easy, others involve twists, turns, and moments of uncertainty. Wherever you are
on that path, Next Biosciences provides advanced science, understanding, empathy, and
personal guidance.Led by a team of women who know the realities of fertility, Next Biosciences combines
medical innovation with lived experience.
A woman’s journey
Every woman’s reproductive journey is a unique story. The path is not always linear or
simple. Next Biosciences’ services help navigate the emotions, milestones, and questions
along the way.
Before the first step
Good planning can make all the difference. CarrierScreen is a preconception genetic test
that helps couples assess the risk of passing inherited conditions to their children. It gives
you knowledge to prepare and plan your family accordingly.
When things take time
Not all pregnancies happen quickly. For some, the journey involves careful monitoring,
fertility treatments, and emotional highs and lows.
If you’re undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF), (pre-implantation genetic testing for
aneuploidies) can help identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, improving
your chance of a healthy pregnancy and reducing the time to a successful pregnancy.
Finding the right moment
Endometrial receptivity and microbiome testing analyse your uterine lining to determine the
right time and environment for embryo transfer. This allows your healthcare provider to
deliver personalised treatment increasing your chances of a successful pregnancy.
When it doesn’t go as planned
Miscarriage is part of many women’s journeys and often it creates anxiety and uncertainty.
Unfortunately, 1 in 4 women are affected by miscarriage.
Products of conception screening (POCScreen) can help provide answers by analysing the
pregnancy material for genetic reasons that may have caused the loss, guiding your next
steps with clarity and care.
Pregnancy and peace of mind
One day, the wait ends and there it is: a positive pregnancy test. But even with this
happiness comes new uncertainties.
TriScreen non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), offers early insights, from just 10 weeks of
pregnancy into your baby’s genetic health. It is done through a simple blood draw with no
risk to your baby.
If curiosity gets the better of you, the MiniMi early fetal sex test can also reveal your baby’s
gender at 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Protecting the future at birth
After all the science, and all the waiting finally your baby is here. But even at birth, there is
an opportunity to protect and preserve your child’s future health. With Netcells stem cell
banking, you can store your baby’s umbilical cord stem cells to be used in future medical
treatments.
Melissa’s Experience:
“We wanted to help secure a good healthy future for our son should he become ill. Our first
born, Colton was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 years old and were told it’s
auto-immune, and we did not do stem cells for him. We would like to invest in the future
health of our second born, Brody from any illnesses and hoping that stem cells will help lead
us to live a healthy life, not only for Brody but for our first born too.
What an amazing journey it has been with Netcells. From the moment we queried to until the
birth of Brody and even afterwards, Netcells has been extremely efficient, helpful, responsive
and on the ball with all our queries and made us feel like a family throughout the process.”
Nick’s Experience:
“Our second time doing the stem cell banking. Once again, an amazing and seamless
experience from start to finish. The staff and nurses are incredibly patient and
compassionate, helping you every step of the way. Thank you!”
To every woman, whether you’re planning, waiting, grieving, or embracing motherhood, your
journey matters.
Next Biosciences is there for women every step of the way!
