January 2016 Issue of The Pathologist

Welcome to the January issue. Our Upfront topics include disease-predicting proteins, the ongoing debate over cancer screening, and the worldwide agar shortage. Our Feature profiles Manuel Sobrinho-Simões, Portugal’s leading pathologist and a significant proponent of molecular biology with some controversial opinions on the digital revolution. In Practice features automated paraffin block storage, and in NextGen we look at an inexpensive prototype 3D-printed in vivo microscope. In Profession, we see the power of the #PathArt hashtag and online community-building, and we Sit Down With Fred Bosman, Professor Emeritus at the University Institute of Pathology, University Medical Center of Lausanne, Switzerland.
