Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than a half-century has witnessed the emergence of biosensors based on field-effect transistors as a superior tool to detect a variety of biomolecules and substances. During the recent decades, enormous time and efforts have been invested into FET biosensors to exploit them for determining numerous biomarkers (proteins, microRNAs, and so on) at ultra-low concentrations. They are therefore expected to play vital roles in diagnosis of chronic diseases as well as development of precision medicine in the future.
This Special Issue welcomes high-quality publications including review, perspective, communication, and research articles related to recent advances in sensing technology by FETs, especially studies to improve FET-based biosensors for biomedical applications. The potential themes cover, but are not restricted to the following:
- materials for FETs
- nano-structured transducers
- probe design and synthesis
- transducer fabrication techniques
- surface modification methods
- antifouling functions
- sensing biomarkers of pandemic
- improving sensitivity and detection limit
- applications in biologics manufacturing (biomanufacturing)

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
