June 2021 Issue of The Pathologist

In June’s issue of The Pathologist, three proteomics experts talk to us about their work in the fight against COVID-19. How did they successfully use targeted proteomics for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 proteins? What role do proteomics play in aiding the fight against the pandemic? And where do structural and systems biology come into it? Also in this issue: how to ensure better health care for transgender patients, expanding the frontiers of precision medicine with macromolecules and machine learning, and the potential for 3D printing to reignite medical students’ interest in pathology. We also sit down with Pikka Jokelainen, Academic Officer at the Laboratory of Parasitology, Infectious Disease Preparedness, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark; Adjunct Professor of Zoonotic Parasitology at the University of Helsinki; President of the Scandinavian-Baltic Society for Parasitology; and Vice-President of the World Federation of Parasitologists.
