Hartwig Medical Foundation

Hartwig Medical Foundation is a Netherlands-based non-profit organization focused on comprehensive cancer genomics. It builds and operates a national whole‑genome sequencing (WGS) and data infrastructure, working with hospitals to generate clinical‑grade WGS of tumors (with matched normal samples) to deliver standardized molecular profiles across cancer types.

The foundation curates a large, privacy‑protected database that links genomic alterations with clinical annotations and outcomes, and provides controlled access to researchers. Its sequencing services, bioinformatics, and datasets support precision oncology, biomarker discovery, and translational research, informing therapy selection and development. Hartwig collaborates with academic centers, healthcare providers, and industry stakeholders to accelerate evidence generation and improve data-driven cancer care.
