Hartwig Medical Foundation welcomes new managing director

Hartwig Medical Foundation is pleased to announce that Robert Jan Lamers has joined the organization as its new managing director, effective September 1. He steps into the role after Hans van Snellenberg. Lamers’ arrival marks a new phase for Hartwig, as the organization evolves from a pioneer in DNA analysis into a leading innovator in data-driven, personalized cancer care.

At the interface of healthcare and data
Lamers has a background in biotechnology and over twenty years of experience leading innovative organizations at the crossroads of healthcare, data, and technology. He has previously headed several scale-ups and built a strong network within the (international) biotech- and healthcare sectors.

‘In Robert Jan Lamers we have found a new managing director who will build on the success of Hartwig Medical Foundation. With his leadership, we aim to accelerate progress even further and expand access for patients and physicians to precision diagnostics and personal treatments. He is a unifying leader with strategic vision who will guide Hartwig into its next phase of impact and growth.’ – Constantijn van Oranje, chair of the Supervisory Board of Hartwig Medical Foundation.

Together with dedicated partners and a strong team, we are committed to advancing cancer care. I look forward to meeting our partners and working together to achieve even greater impact for more patients.’ – Robert Jan Lamers
