At Oncode Institute, we believe the best science happens through connection and collaboration. Our Training Programme empowers the next generation of cancer researchers with high-quality, hands-on learning opportunities.
What We Offer
We organize a diverse range of activities - such as technical masterclasses, interactive workshops, themed meetings, and community-wide events - to help researchers stay at the forefront of scientific and technological developments. These sessions provide a space for knowledge exchange, skill development, and dialogue around key challenges in oncology research.
Open to All
While the Training Programme primarily serves the Oncode Institute research community, many of our workshops are open to external researchers. This openness helps foster cross-institutional collaboration and encourages fresh perspectives. If you are curious to join, you are very welcome. For an overview of our latest events, please visit our Events page.

Colette ten Hove
Colette ten Hove is a molecular biologist by training, with a specialization in developmental biology. Colette has broad experience in research, education, and coaching. In 2020, she joined Oncode Institute, where she drives its patient engagement programme, dedicated to incorporating the patient’s perspective into Oncode Institute and its research teams. She regularly lectures to educate researchers on how to involve patients in fundamental research and continuously looks out for new opportunities to connect and collaborate with other patient engagement initiatives, with the goal of building a patient engagement network in which (future) researchers, clinicians and cancer patients, their relatives and patient representatives can meet and learn from each other’s expertise and perspective. Additionally, Colette leads the training & mentoring programme at Oncode Institute.
