May 2017 Issue of The Pathologist

Our May 2017 issue discusses the growing workload of pathologists, a proposal for maximizing lab efficiency, and an approach for improving LC-MS. Also covered are visual biomarkers for melanoma, the importance of pathologist-patient interaction, genetic markers for anorexia, and pathology’s search for a “killer app”. Finally, we interview Susan Branford, Associate Professor at SA Pathology, Adelaide, Australia.
