Microfluidic Devices for Biomedical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Microfluidic technology is being developed to address a wide range of problems in the field of biomedical engineering, ranging from diagnostics to organ-on-a-chip models. The low sample consumption and fast timescales of analytical microfluidic assays have the potential to improve point-of-care diagnostics. Meanwhile, single-cell analysis and droplet-based microfluidics are promising platforms for the development of personalized medicine and drug development campaigns. Organ-on-a-chip models and devices for cell cultures generate new insights and models to bridge the gap between in vitro experiments on isolated biomolecules in dilute solutions and the complex biological processes in vivo. In this Special Issue on “Microfluidic Devices for Biomedical Engineering”, we will showcase cutting-edge research using microfluidics to improve on the current state-of-the-art research on biomedical engineering applications.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research applying microfluidics in the realm of biomedical engineering. We invite you to submit research papers, short communications, and review articles on the most recent technical developments in this area.

Dr. Therese W. Herling
Guest Editor

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. Bioengineering 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.
