Photonics for Bioapplications: Sensors and Technology—2nd Edition
This special issue belongs to the section "Optical and Photonic Biosensors".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest in the development of photonic systems for bioapplications, ranging from biological, biochemical, and environmental to biomedical and point-of-care instrumentations.
This Special Issue will focus on the current state of the art of photonic sensing systems for bioapplications, covering recent technological improvements, novel materials and bio-receptors, smart sensing bio-surfaces, emerging applications, innovative sensor configurations, and all the associated sensing instrumentations.
Both original research papers and review articles describing the current state of the art in this research field are welcome. We hope that this SI will provide you with an overview of the present state and future outlook of the aforementioned topics.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Nélia Jordão AlbertoDr. Maria de Fátima Domingues
Prof. Dr. Nunzio Cennamo
Prof. Dr. Adriana Borriello

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.
