St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) strives to improve treatment for children and adolescents with cancer by bringing together translational and clinical research with open-minded exploration of basic disease mechanisms.

ZANDR was established at the Children´s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) and is a unique platform to phenotypically screen small compounds on zebrafish models of human diseases. Zebrafish and in particular zebrafish larvae is a well suited vertebrate model system to investigate various human diseases and to perform cost-effective screens for small molecules with therapeutic potential. Funded by FFG, we have established a zebrafish-optimized and automated screening platform, which is open to the scientific community.
