Researchers decode cancer’s genetic control panel one DNA letter at a time

Researchers decode cancer’s genetic control panel one DNA letter at a time Scientists in Davide Seruggia’s group at St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (St. Anna CCRI), together with collaborators at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, have developed CRISPR-Millipede, a new CRISPR-based method that allows researchers to study regulatory DNA sequences at single-nucleotide

Guiding Stem Cells Step by Step: New Tool Improves Models of Pediatric Cancer Development

Guiding Stem Cells Step by Step: New Tool Improves Models of Pediatric Cancer Development To study the molecular causes of pediatric cancer, scientists need to recreate complex developmental processes in the lab – an effort that often requires a great deal of trial and error. Scientists in the labs of Florian Halbritter and Davide Seruggia

Attendees of the 2026 St. Anna CCRI Symposium

St. Anna CCRI Symposium 2026: Bridging Developmental Biology and Childhood Cancer Research 

St. Anna CCRI Symposium 2026: Bridging Developmental Biology and Childhood Cancer Research Last Friday, we hosted the second edition of the St. Anna CCRI Symposium. Organized by Principal Investigators Davide Seruggia, Polina Kameneva, and Florian Halbritter, this year’s symposium focused on Cell Fate in Cancer and Development.  Childhood cancer often stems from developmental errors that cause cells to get stuck
