Applying world-leading molecular genetics to solve the diseases and aesthetic signs of ageing
About us
SENISCA is a biotech spinout company from the University of Exeter, founded in 2020 and dedicated to the development of new approaches to reverse cellular senescence (senotherapeutics). Our founders are world leaders in molecular and cellular biology and have patent-protected an innovation for the reversal of cellular senescence. This innovation works by restoring the ability of cells to ‘fine tune’ the expression of their genes to rejuvenate aged cells. At SENISCA, we are using this knowledge, concerning how and why cells become senescent, to develop a new generation of oligonucleotide-based interventions, to turn back the ageing clock in old cells and to target the diseases and aesthetic signs of ageing.

SENISCA reposted this
I very much enjoyed the excellent presentations and discussion rounds on Oligonucleotide * design and synthesis, * delivery and bioavailability, * bioanalytical method development, * the increasing understanding in how to target the dark genome and how * AI can effectively be used in the above at the 4th Annual Oligonucleotide Therapeutics and Delivery Congress in London. Great to catch up!

Dr. David Chiswell, Ph.D., OBE, 1953 - 2024 It is with great sadness that we pay tribute to our friend and former Chairman, Dr David Chiswell OBE, who sadly passed away in August after a short illness. Dave was a scientist, entrepreneur and one of the UK’s most successful biotechnology executives. Dave co-founded Cambridge Antibody Technology (CAT) in 1990 and served as its Chief Executive Officer from 1996 to 2002, taking CAT onto both the London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. He also served as Chairman and then CEO of Kymab from 2015 to 2018. Amongst many other achievements, Dave was also Chairman of the UK BioIndustry Association. His major contributions to the industry were recognised with the award of an OBE by HM the Queen in 2006. Dave had a hugely positive impact in his role as Chairman at SENISCA and will be greatly missed by the whole team. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.
