Patient researchers wanted!

We are looking for oncology patients willing to collaborate with us as co-researchers!

The ‘Symphony of Us’ is a participative research project initiated by the King Baudouin Foundation aiming at better understanding the concept of ‘Patient Value’ in oncology research by involving the patient’s expertise. 

We believe that patients are an integral part of this journey, and we are excited to invite you to join the research team, where your unique perspective and experiences can contribute to designing and conducting research more relevant for patients.
