Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an increasing demand for miniaturized platforms that support the on-site monitoring of biomolecules such as pathogens, metabolites, proteins, and genetic material. Nanomaterials have facilitated the stable detection of these biomolecules with high sensitivity and specificity and can be applied to the transducing elements of wearable and implantable platforms. Efficient nanomaterial performance requires cutting-edge interdisciplinary contributions from researchers in the basic sciences and engineering, as well as from medical professionals. Advances in nanotechnology, characterization techniques, biotechnology, material science, and computational tools have led to the development of novel nanomaterials and their usage in different form factors for health monitoring. Keeping this in mind, we are launching this Special Issue, focusing on the latest advancements in nanomaterial usage in miniaturized sensing platforms. We welcome all types of submissions related to the application of nanomaterials. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following research areas:
- Point-of-care devices;
- Wearable and implantable sensors;
- Microfluidic sensors;
- Novel sensing strategies and redox cycling amplification;
- Novel nanomaterial for sensing;
- Sensing and drug delivery integration;
- Nanomaterials for robotics application in sensing.
We hope that covering a wide range of such appealing topics in our issue will not only serve as a valuable repository but will also motivate future researchers interested in biomedical diagnostics and nanoscience.

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.
