Oncode Institute is a virtual fundamental cancer research institute aiming to accelerate breakthrough discoveries and speed up their translation into new diagnostics and treatments for cancer patients. Oncode researchers receive funding to conduct high-risk & high-gain research and receive support to advance their discoveries. KWF, the Top Sector Life Sciences & Health, ZonMw, and the ministries of EZK, VWS, and OCW invest 92 million euros so Oncode can continue its mission to outsmart cancer and impact patients’ lives.
“The complexity of cancer requires a joint approach, in which scientists from different disciplines work together”, says De Visser. “We are very grateful that Oncode Institute will continue, so we can translate our fundamental research findings arising from the high-risk research projects into the clinic, and we can start new research lines based on observations in patients.”
