Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An early diagnosis of high-impact human disease not only helps prevent disease development but also allows for personalized medicine approaches to be used. Despite recent advances in biological research, many challenges remain in the application of new biosensor technologies for molecular diagnostics. The broad, unmet need for early diagnosis necessitates the development of biosensor platforms that can accurately detect multiple biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity.
This Special Issue of IJMS is focused on recent progress in biosensors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biosensors with high sensitivity for detecting molecular biomarkers in complex biological samples;
- Liquid-biopsy-based biosensors for high-impact human disease for the molecular profiling of high-impact diseases;
- Biosensor platforms assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) for molecular data interpretation and risk assessment.
We welcome the submission of topics related to addressing the molecular aspects of biosensor development and application. Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, purely clinical studies will not be suitable.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Ana-Maria Chiorcea-Paquim and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Lev Zelenkov (Senior Researcher of Laboratory of Hybrid Nanophotonics and Optoelectronics, ITMO University).

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
