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.

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.
