Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with your valuable research work. This Special Issue aims to present clinical and laboratory validations of diagnostic biomarkers, with a special emphasis on novel and emerging biomarkers that can enhance minimally invasive diagnostics, shorten time to diagnosis and overall improve patient management and safety in various clinical settings. In addition, it will focus on strategies to implement novel biomarkers into routine practice with real-life evidence of their utility, use of advanced methodologies for their determination and improvements of interdisciplinary approaches in the diagnostic pathway. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: clinical biochemistry, laboratory hematology, laboratory coagulation, toxicology, microbiology and transfusion medicine.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ivana Lapić
