Cyclomics co-founder Dr. Jeroen de Ridder publishes paper in Nature
The research group of Jeroen de Ridder, co-founder of Cyclomics and inventor of CyclomicsSeq technology, has published a research article in Nature. The work describes an elegant use of Oxford Nanopore sequencing to classify paediatric brain tumor by means of real-time analysis of methylation hallmarks. This novel approach enables surgeons to obtain a superfast diagnosis… Read…

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…
