Dear Colleagues,

The environment, food and medicine are the three major fields most closely related to people's daily lives. With a population increasing and the pressures of economic development, there are more and more challenges facing these three fields; such as population growth; exerting pressure on environment quality, food production and the spread of diseases. Economic development has led to improved living conditions and stimulated demand for better food safety and health. Hence, sensor technology focused on environment protection, food quality control and medicine have become research hotspots. Electrochemical sensors and biosensors have been widely used in these three fields due to their excellent selectivity and sensitivity. They are small and portable, allowing them to be widely applied in both static and mobile platforms and for the possibility of use in the field, at the point-of-need.

This Special Issue is focused on the applications of advanced electrochemical (bio)sensors in fields of the environment, food, and medicine. It aims to provide a platform for the publication of original high-quality research papers covering the most recent advances in these areas, as well as comprehensive reviews on the application of both the electrochemical and non-electrochemical sensing and bio-sensing technologies in these fields. We invited a wide range of appropriate contributions and should covers any type of experimental, theoretical, numerical, and computational research in the areas of both electrochemical and non-electrochemical (bio) sensors in for environment, food, and medicine. This includes (but is not limited to) theoretical development, mathematical models, numerical algorithms, optimization, machine learning approaches, probabilistic and stochastic approaches, and computational methods. Discussions of electrochemical and nonelectrochemical sensors employing both classical and advanced techniques, based on enzymes, antibodies, DNA, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers, and the application of nanotechnology are also welcome.

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.
