Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the great success of the first volume of the Special Issue, titled “Advanced Optical Methods for Biosensing”, the Editorial Board of Biosensors, in collaboration with the Guest Editors, Dr. Pinkie Jacob Eravuchira and Prof. Dr. Nathan Lindquist, is proud to launch Volume II under the same title. This Special Issue continues to embrace the cutting-edge progress and innovative applications of optical biosensing and bioimaging technologies, further exploring their transformative potential across biological and medical research fields.
Optical biosensing has emerged as a cornerstone of modern analytical science, delivering ultra-sensitive, label-free, and real-time detection of biological and pathological analytes for studying cellular and tissue processes, and enabling precise disease diagnosis and monitoring. As healthcare and medical research advance, there is an ever-growing demand for next-generation optical biosensing technologies with enhanced accuracy, miniaturization, cost-effectiveness, and integration capabilities. Breakthroughs in nano-photonics, plasmonics, super-resolution imaging, microfluidics, and advanced functional materials continue to push the boundaries of optical biosensing, unlocking new possibilities for its application in point-of-care testing, in situ biological imaging, personalized medicine, and clinical diagnostics.
This Special Issue highlights the latest advances in advanced optical methods for biosensing and bioimaging, encompassing the design, fabrication, and optimization of novel optical biosensor platforms; the development of innovative optical detection and imaging technologies; and their translational applications in biomedicine and life sciences. We welcome contributions addressing key challenges in the field, such as improving detection sensitivity and specificity, achieving high spatial–temporal resolution in bioimaging, integrating optical biosensors with lab-on-a-chip and portable systems, and exploring new theoretical and experimental approaches for optical biosensing. Original research papers, communications, and comprehensive review articles are all welcome.
We look forward to receiving your research contributions aiming to advance the state of the art in optical biosensing.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 2200 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.
