Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are analytical tools that facilitate the accurate diagnosis and analysis of biological states and diseases in living systems. These diagnostic devices detect and quantitatively measure biological and pathological analytes in order to aid a better understanding of the biological processes and changes in cells and tissues. Much innovative research is being carried out to create high-accuracy and cost-effective optical biosensors that can help with disease diagnoses. New advancements, especially in the field of optical methods for biosensing, are essential as these biological detection and imaging tools find a wide range of potential applications in healthcare, medicine, and more.
In this Special Issue of Biosensors, we invite you to contribute high-quality research on Advanced Optical Methods for Biosensing and Bioimaging. Contributions that cover both experimental and theoretical work on the latest developments in the field of optical biosensors will be considered. Original research papers, communication, research notes, and comprehensive review articles are welcome. Manuscripts will be internationally peer-reviewed.

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.
