Oncode is proud to present the public summary of its first Annual Report, which showcases highlights of the first year of Oncode. We invite you to read about how we set out to build the foundations of our Research Institute. An institute which fosters a multidisciplinary research environment. Where researchers are provided with access to world class infrastructure, technologies, training, support teams and the financial means to support high-risk research projects. In 2018 we focused on building the launching platform for our future activities. We launched key scientific programmes, started up a dedicated valorization team, hosted events, built an online community and shaped a dedicated patient engagement programme.
In short, the report shows you the many ways we are working on our mission: outsmarting cancer, impacting lives.

Clinical trial with new lung cancer vaccine started
Last week a new clinical trial with a vaccine against non-small cell lung cancer started at Erasmus MC. The vaccine teaches the immune system of lung cancer patients to recognize and clear tumor cells. Developed in the lab of Oncode Investigator Sjoerd van der Burg at Leiden University Medical Center, the technology may offer relief to a large proportion of the nearly 10,000 patients who receive this diagnosis each year.

A wrap-up of the Clinical Workshop Melanoma: looking into present approaches and what the future looks like
Due to restrictions linked to the pandemic, the Clinical Workshop Melanoma had to be postponed from last year to October this year. The restrictions relaxed and finally being able to come together, the long-expected event could take place. We now look back at a successful workshop that took place on the 5th of October at the Oncode office in Utrecht. The goal of the event was to bring together clinicians and clinical and basic researchers to discuss the tumor type melanoma, and to discuss current trends and unmet needs both within the clinic and in (clinical) research. The workshop aimed to also explore how basic research can address these unmet clinical needs and to stimulate new collaborations through translational and clinical projects.
