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.
