Outsmarting Cancer, Impacting lives

In its Annual Report 2025, published today, Oncode Institute shows how excellent fundamental cancer research, collaboration and valorisation together drive impact for patients, society and the economy. The number of people living with cancer continues to rise, pressure on healthcare systems is increasing, and the need for effective and affordable diagnostics and treatments is growing. At the same time, the Netherlands is home to world-class cancer research. The challenge is to translate that knowledge faster and more effectively into applications that reach patients.

Oncode Investigator Jurgen Marteijn has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for his project GeneGuard, which will investigate how cells detect, signal and resolve transcription stress caused by DNA damage.
