World Brain Day aims to enhance awareness of brain health and neurological disorders, highlighting the essential role of laboratory professionals in these areas. As the prevalence of neurodegenerative and other brain conditions rises, the demand for accurate and timely diagnostics becomes paramount. Insights from Daniel Brat, a Professor of Neuropathology, emphasize ongoing workforce shortages and the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach to challenges in diagnostics. Advanced methods like molecular profiling are vital, but access to these services is hampered by workforce strains, particularly in low-income regions. Innovations, including fluid biomarkers and AI in neuropathology, offer hope for improved outcomes and equitable healthcare access.
