Long Description

Adrastia Biotechnology was founded in 2013 to provide a highly accurate Breast Cancer diagnostic protocol that is easy to administer, non-invasive, will deliver rapid results, and provide women with a personal health history.

Adrastia Biotechnology obtains the urine sample and runs high throughput protein quantification and targeted mRNA/microRNA sequencing to identify a pattern of breast cancer positive or negative as compared to a standard or the woman's own previous pattern. Unlike 100% genomic data, Adrastia's test results are designed to be actionable by the woman's physician and her pattern will be stored in her health record for future reference.

CELLTech™ has been developed under an issued patent. The Juno Biomedical, Inc. team has been working closely with the FDA since 2018 as part of the Early Feasibility Study (EFS) Program. The purpose of the EFS program is to fast-track highly novel devices to the clinic. We are also in the process of working closely with federal funding bodies to support the CELLTech™ feasibility clinical trial.
