Biosensing for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

You are kindly invited to submit original research and review articles to this new Special Issue dedicated to the most recent developments in the area of biosensing platforms for drug screening, analysis, and monitoring. It is my hope that this Special Issue will gather the most recent advances in the field, so that it can serve the entire scientific community to improve the strategies in biosensor development and boost their applicability.

This Special Issue is intended to respond to and meet the needs for the development of biosensing platforms and assays capable of screening, analyzing, dosing or monitoring concentrations, or to assess the toxicity level of compounds with potential pharmaceutical properties. Biosensors for laboratory-use microfluidic lab-on-chip and point-of-care devices are expected, as well as their development strategies, their sensing interfaces designed and based on nanostructured materials or polymers, immobilization procedures for the bio-recognition elements such as DNA, enzymes, antibodies, etc. Additionally, attention will be paid to applications of these biosensors for fundamental investigation of the molecular interactions, binding affinity, and kinetics as key parts of the drug discovery and monitoring processes. Classical detection techniques such as electrochemical, electronic, optical, magnetic, or piezoelectric methods as well as new emerging technologies are welcome.

Dr. Victor C. Diculescu
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. 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.
