Science Starlight: today’s research efforts for a better future

About 300 children and adolescents in Austria develop cancer each year. The young researchers at St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (St. Anna CCRI) work hard to bring this number closer to Zero one day. Guided by dedication, heart, and a positive outlook, they search for new ways to improve diagnostics and treatment for the smallest patients. In the lab, personal ambitions and dreams are met with ever new challenges.

Those people who face these challenges on a daily basis to make a better future for kids with cancer possible, are the heroes that are barely in the spotlight. For that reason, our new series “Science Starlight” gives a behind-the-scenes look at the people in the lab coats and their thoughts on the future of childhood cancer research.
