Structural biology is fundamental to understanding the molecular basis of biological processes. While machine learning-based protein structure prediction has advanced considerably, experimentally determined structures remain indispensable for guiding structure-function analyses and for improving predictive modeling. However, experimental studies of protein complexes continue to pose challenges, particularly due to the necessity of high protein concentrations and purity for downstream analyses such as cryogenic electron microscopy.

Congenital syphilis is a preventable yet severe condition resulting from untreated maternal syphilis. Since 2016, Australia has recorded over 95 congenital syphilis cases, with 31/95 (33%) associated with perinatal death. Syphilis serology is complex and therefore performed in designated central laboratories.

Introduction: Prolonged Emergency Department (ED) stays, a global issue driving overcrowding, were exacerbated at our hospital by lab delays and extended waits, increasing patient stress. This study aimed to reduce hematology patients' length of stay (LOS). Using the fishbone method to identify care barriers, three interventions were implemented: redesigned lab referral systems, an online specialist communication platform, and patient navigation floor maps.

Background: South Africa faces emerging resistance to TB drugs like bedaquiline. Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST), the current reference standard for bedaquiline DST, has long turnaround times. Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) offers a comprehensive alternative, potentially delivering faster results.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of integrating digital shadow technology with Lean Six Sigma methodology on intra-laboratory turnaround time (TAT) in a high-volume clinical laboratory, and to demonstrate how digital shadow architectures can enhance process visibility and drive sustainable operational improvements.

Methods: A retrospective, two-phase study was conducted in a tertiary cancer hospital from January to December 2024. Digital shadow technology was implemented by leveraging real-time, time-stamped data from the laboratory information system (LIS) to map specimen workflow milestones.
