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 interventions, to turn back the ageing clock in old cells and to target the diseases and aesthetic signs of ageing. SENISCA interventions are small molecule or oligonucleotide-based.
