Netherlands Cancer Institute

The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) in Amsterdam was founded in 1913 by, among others, the surgeon Jacob Rotgans.

The NKI, together with the Antoni van Leeuwenhoekziekenhuis, is formed into the NKI-AVL, which combines a scientific research institute with a specialized clinic focused on combating the disease cancer.

NKI is a member of EU-LIFE, an alliance of leading life sciences research centres in Europe.

[citation needed] At the start of the 1990s, the NKI, together with the VU University Amsterdam created the Research School for Oncology Amsterdam (OOA) for postdoctoral research and schooling.

This research school was accredited by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1993.
