Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Identifying and validating biomarkers that can be used not only for screening/diagnosis but also for surveillance and prognosis are continued scientific challenges in the 21st century. For many different human conditions, engineering novel biomarkers and assays has the potential to aid in early detection and medical decision-making, ultimately having the potential to improve quality of life and public health across the globe. Over the past 30 years, different fields of “-omics’ have emerged with the goal of understanding complex biological systems through profiling genes, transcription factors, proteins, lipids, and metabolites. Of relevance, these different analytical approaches have been utilized for biomarker discovery in different sample matrices, including blood, sweat, saliva, urine, and even breath.
Different modes of chromatography are critical to provide reliable degrees of sensitivity and, more importantly, selectivity in generating biomarker data. Therefore, this Special Issue is dedicated to publishing research focusing on biomarker analysis and identification through diverse chromatographic methods. This Special Issue aims to encompass a broad range of research, including, but not limited to, novel applications, unique chemometric or biostatistical approaches for data analysis, and analytical method development/validation. We are delighted to invite you to contribute your research articles, communications, or reviews for publication in this Special Issue.

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. Separations 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 2600 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.
