The report showcases the highlights of Oncode in 2019. Outsmarting cancer is one of the most ambitious missions of our times - one that no single group can complete on its own. That’s why we have joined the forces of 61 research groups across the Netherlands. Our 800+ researchers have access to world class infrastructure, technologies, training, support teams and financial means to support high-risk research projects. Oncode’s scientific community is deliberately set up to promote interdisciplinary research, reduce barriers to collaboration, and foster a culture of openness and sharing.

We invite you to read about how we did that last year and what we are planning for the future.
