The infrastructure beneath the next era of human biology
Heru builds genomic infrastructure so biological knowledge can serve the person it describes. Haeckel is the first product.
Consumer genomics reached its limits. The science has evolved
23andMe introduced a generation to their own DNA, then came apart, and took with it the idea that consumer genomics could be more than a novelty. The science kept accelerating: polygenic scores, dense ancient-DNA panels, foundation models for biology. The distance between what the science can now do and what a person can actually access has never been wider. Heru builds the reference layer, the calibration and the pipelines at the standard the data requires.
What the platform runs on

1000 Genomes + HGDP
Peer-reviewed reference panels
Principles
The individual benefits first
Encrypted at the application layer, exportable in full, deletable on command. Never sold.
A claim stops where evidence stops
Each result names its method. Coverage and unavailable evidence stay attached. Unsupported calls remain unavailable.
The data comes first
Reference panels and method correctness come first. Nothing downstream is reliable if those are wrong.
Everything Heru builds reaches people through Haeckel
Haeckel is the product surface: an encrypted genomic evidence model with a conversational interface. Behind it sit reference databases, PRS calibration, analysis pipelines and the research programs. Early access is open at haeckel.ai; limits and coverage stay on every result.
