Collaborative Projects
The CCRI has successfully managed to establish a wide network consisting of national and international partners collaborating with our scientists and clinicians at the St. Anna Children’s hospital on biomedical research projects and clinical studies for various childhood cancers. As a result, our predominantly charity-based organisation can gain access to and share the most recent cost-intensive technologies.
