Oncode Institute: outsmarting cancer, impacting lives

Who We Work With

United by a Common Goal  

By uniting diverse and complementary expertise, resources and perspectives, we accelerate progress and increase the impact of cancer research on science, healthcare and society. 

Our Research Community  

Our community brings together 62 Oncode Investigators and their teams: more than 750 researchers across 13 institutes in the Netherlands. Collectively, they bring an exceptional breadth and depth of expertise to cancer research - approaching the disease from many different scientific perspectives. This multidisciplinary strength is essential to advancing our understanding of cancer in all its complexity.  

Working Across Sectors  

We believe meaningful progress is driven by collaboration across disciplines and sectors. That is why we actively partner with:  

• Academic and research institutions - providing access to world-class facilities and cutting-edge scientific expertise   
• Hospitals and medical centres - connecting research and discovery to clinical practice   
• Patients and Patient organisations - ensuring we remain focused on the needs of people living with cancer   
• Biotech and pharmaceutical companies - translating discoveries into diagnostics and treatments
