Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CRISPR/Cas technology won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for its outstanding contribution to gene editing. In addition to its application in gene editing, a large literature shows that CRISPR/Cas technology has outstanding advantages in biosensing, with high accuracy, good specificity, and fast response. More importantly, CRISPR technology is promising not only in its application to nucleic acid detection but also in the detection of other kinds of biomarkers, including heavy metal ions, small molecules, peptides, and proteins, posing a great application potential for next-generation diagnostics, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge fundamental and applied research activities in CRISPR-driven biosensing, showcasing innovative technologies, methods, and novel integrated devices for next-generation diagnostics, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. We invite submissions that will help to advance research in the field of CRISPR-driven biosensing technologies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
