Ready for #Runners4Research at #AACR on behalf of Oncode Accelerator!
Our mission is bold: to collaboratively optimize and accelerate the development of new cancer therapies for the benefit of patients of all ages. We aim to achieve this by integrating patient data and materials -including patient-derived organoid models- and artificial intelligence at early stages of preclinical therapy development, across four pipelines focused on developing oncology-targeted therapeutics: - Small molecules, - Biologics, - Cell and gene therapies, and - Therapeutic vaccines. Our world-class toolbox of state-of-the-art technologies, is available through Demonstrator Projects to anyone globally that has a target of interest and/or a validated hit, and who wishes to advance their asset to a valuable clinical candidate. Ultimately, our integrated approach and top notch infrastructure should result in more effective, personalized cancer therapies. This will bring us closer to our overarching goal: to outsmart cancer and impact lives. Oncode Accelerator is a public-private partnership that is funded by the Dutch National Growth Fund (NGF). It is a collaboration between six coordinating partners: Leiden University, Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Princess Máxima Center, UMC Utrecht and the Oncode Accelerator Foundation.

💪 Mini organs with mega impact… Cumulus Oncology has partnered up with the Organoids Platform of Oncode Accelerator within a new Demonstrator Project. For this, the company will be closely working together with UMC Utrecht’s Onno Kranenburg and his team to develop a new colorectal cancer therapy. Organoids are mini organs or mini tumors grown in labs from real patient material. They can be used to develop medicines, and to test how and if a specific patient will respond to a certain treatment. Onno Kranenburg (professor of surgical and translational tumor biology) has founded and chairs the UPORT- Utrecht Platform for Organoid Technology. This is a central facility in UMC Utrecht that stimulates organoid-based biomedical and clinical research. Onno's Translational Oncology research group is focused on developing new, personalised cancer medicines by integrating fundamental and clinical research. This ensures that patients will have access to the most innovative fundamental research much sooner. “The models that Onno has worked on fit so perfectly with the scientific questions we are trying to answer,” says Clare Doris, Cumulus’ chief development officer. “We’re absolutely delighted to be working with him.” 📖 More about the new partnership: https://lnkd.in/eXu7tsHx 📖 Info about Onno's Translational Oncology research group: https://lnkd.in/egHr9Ps6 📖 🎥 Get to know the Utrecht Platform for Organoid Technology (UPORT): https://lnkd.in/eAcg9Fq3 #Organoids #TranslationalOncology #ColorectalCancer #CancerResearch

Oncode Accelerator has launched a new Demonstrator Project bringing together UMC Utrecht and JJP Biologics to develop a next-generation bispecific antibody therapy. By combining AI, patient cohorts, and organoid models, the team aims to improve targeting of GD2 — a key protein across multiple cancers — while reducing the severe side effects seen in current treatments. The goal: more effective, safer therapies for neuroblastoma and potentially other cancers. This collaboration highlights how integrated innovation ecosystems are accelerating the path from research to real-world impact in oncology.

As a partner of Oncode Accelerator, TNO brings world-class translational technology and AI-driven insights to the oncology ecosystem. Learn directly from the experts at TNO about how Accelerator Mass Spectrometry and AI-enabled drug target safety assessments can be used to fast-track #oncology innovations👇
💊 Advancing safer, faster and more predictive cancer drug development As a partner of Oncode Accelerator, TNO brings cutting‑edge translational technology and AI‑driven insights to accelerate oncology innovation. TNO experts, Wouter Vaes and Jennifer McCormack-Venhorst, show how TNO’s unique mix of knowledge and technology strengthens early‑stage drug development. One example is our Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) facility, an ultra‑sensitive method enabling microdosing and microtracer studies with extremely low and ethically permissible radioactivity. The other shows how generative AI can be used to determine the safety of novel drug targets in a fully automated way. Both approaches provide early insight into drug metabolism and safety, supporting faster, more predictive development of new therapies. At TNO, we work with partners across the ecosystem to turn innovation into impact. Read the article ⬇️ #TNO #Innovation #OncodeAccelerator #CancerResearch #DrugDevelopment
