Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Spectroscopy for biochemical imaging and sensing” refers to the use of spectroscopic techniques to study and analyze biochemical processes, molecules, and structures within biological systems. This interdisciplinary field combines principles from spectroscopy, biology, chemistry, and imaging to investigate the composition, structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomolecules in living organisms.
Spectroscopic methods, including, but not limited to, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, are employed to gather information about the molecular composition and behavior of biological samples. By harnessing these techniques, researchers can gain insights into various biological phenomena, including disease mechanisms, drug interactions, metabolic pathways, and cellular functions. Additionally, spectroscopic imaging and sensing methods enable non-invasive or minimally invasive detection and visualization of biochemical processes, offering valuable tools for biomedical research, diagnostics, and therapeutic development.
For this Special Issue, we invite you to share your latest advancements in biochemical analysis that are relevant to the topics published in Sensors. Discover practical applications of spectroscopic techniques in understanding biological systems, stay informed, and gain valuable insights into the evolving field of spectroscopy in biochemistry.
Dr. Bruno Wacogne

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
