Welcome to the May issue of Pathway, a monthly magazine designed for anyone interested in their health and wellbeing and in the integral role that pathology plays in the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases.
This month’s issue of Pathway looks at the following:

What is a brain bank and how is it helping people with Multiple Sclerosis?
The MS Australia Brain Bank collects post-mortem brain and spinal cord donations from people with MS from across Australia for specific research projects.
An expected rise in influenza cases combined with the current, rising trend of COVID-19 cases, is likely to put an extraordinary strain on the healthcare system this winter.
