May 2026—Barriers are preventing international medical graduates—students, residents, fellows, researchers, and practicing physicians—from entering the U.S. or remaining in the U.S. lawfully to continue their training or practice.
May 2026—I was a microbiology laboratory technologist before going to medical school and becoming a pathologist. At that time (many years ago), the taxonomists decided to split the genus Pasteurella into two genera of Pasteurella and Yersinia.
April 2026—It’s hard to mount an argument against the Great Plains. Nor is there much reason to. But drive across eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, or the Dakotas, and it is a bona fide thrill to arrive in Wyoming’s northwest corner and see the Grand Tetons rising up in spectacular fashion.
April 2026—Artificial intelligence, circulating tumor DNA, trial data: ASCO 2026 next month in Chicago will feature platforms, technologies, and therapeutic approaches once considered future concepts in cancer diagnosis and care. What comes now is less flashy than a breakthrough advance perhaps, but no less significant. As Janice Lu, MD, PhD, puts it, “The real work now is disciplined clinical translation: validation, collaboration, and implementation, in ways that truly improve patient care.”
April 2026—Revisions and additions to the CAP transfusion medicine accreditation checklist released last year were made to safeguard patients, donors, and the blood bank inventory.
April 2026—Point-of-care (POC) testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is crucial for combating the rising STI rates, particularly among marginalized groups.
April 2026—A new general susceptibility subsection in the microbiology checklist consolidates requirements for antibacterials, antifungals, and antimycobacterials, aiming for clarity and a broader focus beyond bacteriology.
April 2026—Laboratory and pathology billing face challenges from reimbursement threats, downcoding, denials, and prior authorizations.
April 2026—CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke on Feb. 19 with Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Ravi Gupta, MBA, VP and general manager; Robert Balog, PhD, MBA, senior director, research and development; and Poulomi Acharya, PhD, senior director, global product management and market development, genetic sciences.
Bob McGonnagle: Thermo Fisher launched last fall the SwiftArrayStudio, a next-generation microarray analyzer that will support genomics research and clinical applications through the use of laboratory-validated and -developed tests. Ravi Gupta, what motivated the development of this analyzer?
Ravi Gupta: The SwiftArrayStudio resulted from listening to customers. It addresses the scientific and operational pressures observed in modern genomics. I call them the real-world needs. For decades, labs across human predictive genomics and agrigenomics have dealt with persistent challenges in workflow complexity, inconsistent turnaround times, and escalating costs.

April 2026—Two new children’s books aim to introduce young readers to the world of laboratory medicine. Mia the Marvelous Lab Explorer follows a young superhero pathologist as she helps diagnose a young boy with leukemia, while ABCs of Laboratory Medicine uses the alphabet to explain various laboratory concepts.
