About
A small practice, for the life ahead.
Helixir Genomics is a one-person practice. Your DNA holds clues worth understanding, and reading them well is the work of a scientist, not an algorithm. So one scientist reads yours, personally.
The scientist
Helixir Genomics · Founder
Adriano De Marino, PhD.
Adriano De Marino, PhD.
Adriano is a precision medicine analyst with a PhD. He has spent years inside the largest commercial genomics platforms, reading DNA at scale. That work convinced him of a simple thing: the most useful reading is still done one person at a time, by a scientist who knows the science.
So he reads each genome himself. He turns it into a few clear choices that add up over a lifetime, writes them in plain language, and signs his name to the result.
Discipline
Precision medicine
Method
Read by a scientist, not an algorithm
Scope
One person at a time
Standards
Four rules your analysis is held to.
Evidence
Every finding is checked against ClinVar, the public database of gene–health links, and the current peer-reviewed research. Nothing comes from a black-box model.
Restraint
When the science is uncertain, we say so plainly. We do not claim more than the data can support.
Privacy
Your data is yours. Never sold, never shared for advertising or research, never used to train models. Encrypted on our servers and while it travels.
Independence
We earn nothing from any supplement brand, lab, or drug. So the advice you get is the advice we believe, with no one paying for the answer.
How deep you read
For the deepest read, the whole genome.
Depth is yours to choose. An array reads the well-studied, pre-selected markers across your DNA. Whole-genome sequencing reads every base, reaching the rare, high-impact and structural variants an array physically cannot see, plus fuller detail on how you respond to medication. The areas are the same, and the hand-written interpretation is the same; the whole genome simply gives the scientist more of your DNA to read.
One at a time
One genome, one scientist, one plan.
We take on only a few people at a time, on purpose. That keeps the work careful, the attention personal, and your analysis truly your own.
