New diagnostics, new workflows, new biomarkers… it seems as though research into pathology and laboratory medicine is coming along in leaps and bounds! This week, Graham Danks gives us an inside look into changing workflows during a pandemic and Paolo Actis shares his thoughts on a new type of biomarker test that may be fast, cheap, effective, and portable – all at once. Enjoy!

Yours, Michael Schubert, Editor
