    We have developed platform technologies to genetically engineer, manufacture and purify cell-free vesicles that can control immune cell activation. Our first-in-class modality has the potential to treat a range of immunopathologies including inflammation, autoimmune diseases and cancers. Our platform works by signaling through validated targets for which biologics like agonistic antibodies are either unsafe or perform poorly. No other modality can fully recapitulate natural cell-to-cell signaling. To Faster Cures! 🚀🚀

    Saas-Based Identity Management Services Are The “Front Door” To Any Organization. Services from: Okta, AzureAD, Google Identity, and others are foundational in any modern organization. These services are responsible for: * User identity management and authentication * Application access and assignment * Security and compliance policies, etc. However, while being mission-critical for any customer, these services are a single point of failure. While the Cloud (Service) Provider is responsible for service SLA, customers are responsible for their own data and its integrity. accSenSe’s mission is to provide you and your customers with SaaS resilience and peace of mind.
