Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic devices and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have revolutionized biosensing technologies, offering unprecedented precision, miniaturization, and automation for biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and point-of-care testing. This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in microfluidics and MEMS-based biosensors, highlighting innovative designs, fabrication techniques, and applications in detecting biomolecules, cells, and pathogens.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel Microfluidic Platforms: Lab-on-a-chip systems for high-throughput and low-cost biosensing;
- MEMS-Based Sensors: Integration of mechanical, optical, and electrochemical transducers for enhanced sensitivity;
- Biomarker Detection: Applications in cancer diagnostics, infectious diseases, and personalized medicine;
- Smart Materials: Use of nanomaterials, hydrogels, and responsive polymers in biosensor development;
- Wearable and Implantable Devices: MEMS and microfluidics for real-time health monitoring;
- AI and Automation: Machine learning-driven data analysis and autonomous microfluidic systems.
This Special Issue invites original research, reviews, and perspectives addressing challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. Contributions from interdisciplinary researchers in engineering, biology, and clinical sciences are encouraged to foster collaboration and accelerate the translation of these technologies into practical solutions.

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 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.
