The Dutch Cancer Foundation (KWF) granted 1.25M to OralScreen to tackle the diagnostics challenges of oral-cavity cancers.
In collaboration with KWF, NWO, and Amsterdam UMC, Cyclomics participates in the OralScreen consortium led by Dr. J.B. Poell from the VUMC. OralScreen has the ambition of revolutionizing early cancer detection in the oral cavity. Oral cavity cancers are often detected in a late stage, when the survival chances are severely reduced, affecting the quality… Read…

Cyclomics finalizes Oncode clinical proof-of-concept project
Our technology, CyclomicsSeq, has been used in a recent Clinical Proof-of-Concept(Cpoc) project funded by the Oncode Institute. In this project several patients with advanced head and neck cancer were monitored over several months to obtain information about responders and non-responders for the given treatment. The project was performed in collaboration with the Netherlands Cancer Institute… Read…

Cyclomics announces publication on CyclomicsSeq technology
We are excited to announce the publication about Cyclomics’ core CyclomicsSeq technology in Genomic Medicine. CyclomicsSeq technology involves a novel consensus sequencing approach fully optimised for circulating tumor DNA. The small size and low abundance of circulating tumor DNA in the blood of cancer patients makes accurate detection of cancer mutations difficult. Cyclomics has established a… Read…
