I am constantly looking for innovative ways to help improve the discoverability of the work published in the journal. Last year we have launched journal collections (https://link.springer.com/journal/40291/collections) and we now have five topical collections focused on dermatology, diagnosis of COVID-19, droplet digital PCR, brain tumours and breast cancer.
I hope that you have found the articles published throughout 2022 to be both interesting and informative. I have appreciated the high quality of content contributed to the journal this year and look forward to keeping you up to date with topical issues in molecular diagnosis and therapy in 2023.
With best wishes,
Alison Fitches
