In our ever-changing world, increasing numbers of people are seeking out innovative (and safe) ways to work. Digitization seems one clear way – but does working from behind a computer screen risk the visibility the lab medicine community has worked so hard to create? This week, Eric Glassy cautions colleagues to stay visible, both to patients and to your professional peers.

Yours, Michael Schubert, Editor

Webinars
Join our webinar on validating a targeted NGS approach for molecular characterization of gliomas today!

Targeted NGS has been instrumental in driving our understanding of disease, mainly because it reduces costs per sample, enables detection of low-frequency variants, and allows for content customization. Join The Pathologist and QIAGEN for a webinar discussing a targeted NGS approach for molecular characterization of gliomas.
