Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precision medicine, which involves the orchestration of medical treatment of a particular patient, is a rapidly growing sector of medical science—President Obama even mentioned this concept in his last State of the Union Address. Key components of the approach are clinical diagnostics, imaging, and data analysis. Biosensor devices and technology represent a very useful diagnostic tool with respect to the assay of biomarkers in biological fluids. This is especially the case for various diseases present in patients. The development of biosensor detection in medicine depends on the possibility to identify potential biomarkers, the choice of a specific transducer, and attachment of an appropriate probe to the device. Coupled with the latter aspect is the necessity to operate the sensor in difficult media, such as serum.

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.
