Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global health is facing unprecedented challenges, from emerging infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance to environmental pollutants, all of which necessitate accurate and accessible diagnostic solutions. This Special Issue, "Electrochemical Biosensors for Global Health Challenges", will highlight cutting-edge advancements in electrochemical biosensing technologies designed to address critical issues, such as early screening in the detection of diseases, the immediate detection of infectious diseases, the rapid detection of antibiotic resistance, and emerging environmental pollutants.
We invite contributions exploring innovative sensor designs, nanomaterials, signal amplification strategies, and portable platforms for early disease screening (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative disorders), point-of-care diagnosis of infections (e.g., COVID-19, malaria), antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and the detection of emerging environmental contaminants (e.g., microplastics, pesticides). An emphasis will be placed on scalability, affordability, and real-world applicability, particularly in low-resource settings. Reviews exploring current challenges and future directions are also welcome.
This Special Issue will bridge the gap between fundamental research and translational solutions, fostering collaboration among chemists, engineers, and clinicians to combat pressing global health threats.
Dr. Tianxiang Wei

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. Chemosensors 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 2000 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.
