In this edition of LABRAD, we embark on a journey through the ever-evolving landscape of laboratory sciences. This is a non-thematic issue, consisting of articles, polaroid section showcasing the pictures of different events or achievements of Departments of Pathology and Radiology. A new section 'Farewell Chronicles' is added and in 'Best of the Past' section a pediatric Radiologist has been interviewed.

​In this issue we have included articles on strategies for laboratory resilience in a changing climate, emphasizing sustainability as a cornerstone for future-proof clinical laboratories. There are articles that delve into the future of autoimmune disease testing with insights from a pioneer in antinuclear antibody testing, shedding light on advancements and challenges and Journey into the world of transplant immunology. This issue covers diverse facets of diagnostics, from comprehensive insights into viral​ hemorrhagic fevers to the spotlight on the rare Bombay Blood Group and explore the crucial role of cytogenetics in multiple myeloma and unravel a deceivingly "blue" biopsy revealing a low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adeno​carcinoma. 

​Join us in bidding farewell to Dr. Anila Rashid, celebrating her remarkable contributions to the field. Take a nostalgic stroll with "THE BEST OF THE PAST" and capture the vibrant moments in POLAROID. LABRAD remains your compass in the intricate world of laboratory sciences. Happy reading!
