St. Anna CCRI is developing and optimizing diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of children suffering from cancer.
🎤At #PintofScienceAustria, Marie Bernkopf (St. Anna CCRI) explained how liquid biopsy – based on a simple blood draw – helps monitor childhood neuroblastoma more gently and effectively, resulting in earlier relapse detection and less burden for kids! #EUMONALISA 📷: Marie Ebeyer

Sara Wernig-Zorc from the Taschner-Mandl Lab (@ccritm) received the prize for the best oral presentation in the basic science category at ANR 2025! 🎉There she gave insights into how therapy-resistant neuroblastoma cells adapt and survive in the bone marrow.
