How we work

Turning groundbreaking science into better lives for people affected by cancer

Why Patients Are at the Heart of What We Do

Oncode Institute brings together over 800 top cancer researchers from 62 research groups across 13 institutes in the Netherlands. We share one mission: to help people live longer and better lives after a cancer diagnosis. By driving innovation in fundamental research and accelerating its path to the clinic, we ensure that our discoveries lead to real benefits for patients.

How We Make a Difference

We are committed to translating knowledge into care.

  • From discovery to diagnosis
    We transform biological insights into tools for earlier and more accurate cancer detection.
  • New therapies, faster
    We connect researchers and clinicians to bring promising treatments to patients more quickly.
  • Collaboration fuels progress
    By sharing knowledge, data, and resources, we accelerate the development of better therapies.
  • A sustainable future
    We support innovations that make cancer care not only more effective, but also more accessible and affordable.

     

Focused on Meaningful Outcomes

Every step we take is aimed at delivering real value for patients in the near future.

  • Earlier and more accurate diagnosis
  • Personalized treatments with fewer side effects
  • Improved quality of life during and after treatment
  • Contributions to a more sustainable and accessible healthcare system

We are not there yet. But everything we do is designed to get us closer, faster.
