April’s issue of The Pathologist sees the return of our gallery special feature for a fifth year running. We asked you, our readers, to send us your favorite artwork from the medical laboratory – and we’ve collated all the weird and wonderful submissions to create a unique and vibrant pathology art gallery! Also in this issue, Bobbi Pritt explains how to best use molecular assays in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, two high-profile innovators describe new diagnostic technologies, and Kamran Mirza investigates how others can learn from the lab’s unbiased approach to healthcare. We also sit down with Markku Miettinen, Senior Clinician and Head of the General Surgical Pathology Section, Laboratory of Pathology, National Cancer Institute/National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
