Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Personalized medicine is an emerging field that promotes the use of novel diagnostic tests to offer the right treatment at the right time for each patient. Personalized medicine unavoidably leads us towards a data-centric view of health, as data from expensive multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trials (evidence-based medicine) are required to demonstrate that a treatment is effective, but the results can be disappointing in population minorities. Therefore, an analysis of retrospective data collected in large databases (Big Data) can help to explore usefulness in population minorities and benefit patients and health systems. However, data must usually be obtained from heterogeneous sources and in different modalities (individual medical history, high-resolution images, omics data, diagnostic tests, etc.) and their analysis may become complex due to non-linear behaviour or changing dynamics. Therefore, modelling such complexity is a major challenge that requires powerful new tools and technologies. This is a natural challenge and pursuit for data science in the form of data collection, storage, curation of databases, processing, and analysis. We argue that the knowledge generated by data science approaches will have a positive impact on clinical practice through personalized treatments, and we would like to dedicate a Special Issue to collecting experiences of the diagnosis and personalized treatment of diseases from a data science and molecular perspective. Review papers and work in progress putting forward new and groundbreaking ideas are also welcomed.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
