December 2016 Issue of The Pathologist

“Welcome to our December issue. Our Upfront articles this month deal with guidance on laboratory-developed assays, HER2 testing, and quality assurance in Canadian pathology. In My View asks whether we’re letting our fascination with genomics blind us to non-genomic precision medicine tools. Our very special Feature is the 2016 Power List, celebrating the “rising stars” of pathology and laboratory medicine – nominated by you. In Practice discusses the applicability of mass spectrometry to diagnostics, and NextGen explores structured illumination microscopy and microbiome-modeling software. We Sit Down With Greek molecular pathologist Vassilis Gorgoulis.
