Cancer affects us all. We all know someone who has had cancer or is currently living with it. In the Netherlands, one in two people will face cancer at some point in their lives. Despite significant progress in treatment and care, the need for better diagnostics and tailored therapies remains urgent.
At Oncode Institute, we believe in a future where every person who survives cancer can lead a full and healthy life. We are committed to transforming scientific discoveries into real solutions for patients - driven by a deepening understanding of cancer.
Our mission is clear: to outsmart cancer and positively impact lives.
We do this by driving collaborative innovation and translating cutting-edge science into effective treatments. We take an integrated approach that fosters collaboration and drives innovation. By uniting discovery, clinical needs and broader economic and societal impact, we accelerate scientific breakthroughs from the laboratory to the patient - turning that future into a reality.
