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.

First patient-derived organoid model for cervical cancer
Researchers from the group of Oncode Investigator Hans Clevers (Hubrecht Institute) developed the first patient-derived organoid model for cervical cancer. They also modelled the healthy human cervix using organoids. In close collaboration with the UMC Utrecht, Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology and the Netherlands Cancer Institute, the researchers used the organoid-based platform to study sexually transmitted infections for a herpes virus. The model can potentially also be used to study the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is one of the main causes of cervical cancer.
