Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proteomic microarrays have been widely used for profiling biomarkers related with disease development and progression. The advantage of microarrays is that they allow for high throughput screening of large amounts of biomarkers using small amounts of samples. High throughput proteomic microarray analysis provides powerful tools for the discovery of novel biomarkers, which could possibly be used in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of diseases. In this Special Issue, we will collect papers on the following topics:
- The development of high-throughput proteomic microarrays for biomarker screening and discovery.
- The identification of disease-related biomarkers using high throughput microarray platforms.
- The application of proteomic microarrays on biological research concerning molecular interaction, therapeutic targets, diseases diagnosis, and prognosis.
- Data analysis algorithms and software development for high throughput proteomic microarrays.

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. BioTech is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
