Hartwig Medical Foundation and ttopstart announce collaboration

Hartwig Medical Foundation is developing innovative clinical decision support systems to enable personalised cancer treatment in the Netherlands. As a part of this, Hartwig Medical Foundation provides access to a unique databank of Whole Genome Sequencing and clinical data of thousands of patients. This will enable a substantial improvement in the quality of diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, stimulate scientific research into methods of treatment and cancer therapies, and reduce the cost of care and over-treatment. Furthermore, Hartwig Medical Foundation has developed a unique patient report that provides clinicians with an actionable assessment of the genetic characteristics of the tumour to guide clinical decision-making for personalised cancer treatment.

Hartwig Medical Foundation is making important progress in advancing the implementation of DNA sequencing technology and clinical-decision making for personalised cancer care. To accelerate this process, Hartwig Medical Foundation and ttopstart co-design smarter strategies and develop new business models to support patient access to precision medicine in a timely and responsible manner and the introduction of actionable patient reporting for clinical decision-making in personalised cancer treatment. In addition, ttopstart will provide ongoing project management support for the different key partnerships of Hartwig Medical Foundation.
