Outsmarting Cancer, Impacting lives

The Lead4Life research programme has been awarded a €5 million public–private partnership (PPP) grant from Health~Holland for the development of lead-212–based radiopharmaceuticals for the treatment of cancer. 

Some scientific breakthroughs don’t belong to a single lab, discipline, or idea. They only become possible when collaboration is the strategy. Oncode Institute brought seven Oncode Investigators together across biology, AI, and clinical research to create PARM – a new method to break the limits of traditional genomic computing. This enabled them  to reveal the language for genetic instructions that tell genes when to turn on and off. 

On World Cancer Day, we bring together three people connected by a shared mission. Gerrit Oostenveld is a melanoma survivor and dedicated Patient Partner. Myrthe Jager and Joske Ubels are Oncode Researchers. What unites them is a belief that cancer research is strongest when scientists and patients work side by side.
