Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue of Diagnostics, entitled “Next-Generation Diagnostic Strategies: Bridging Health Sciences and Laboratory Medicine”, explores cutting-edge advancements revolutionizing disease detection, monitoring, and personalized medicine. As diagnostics evolve beyond traditional boundaries, we seek to highlight interdisciplinary innovations, from AI-driven predictive analytics and multi-omics integration to point-of-care technologies and liquid biopsy platforms. These breakthroughs promise earlier, more accurate diagnoses, tailored therapeutic interventions, and scalable solutions for global health challenges.
Contributions span novel biomarker discovery, microfluidics, CRISPR-based diagnostics, and digital pathology, emphasizing translational potential. By merging engineering, data science, and clinical insights, this Issue underscores the synergy between precision medicine and population health. It also addresses ethical, regulatory, and cost-effectiveness considerations essential for real-world implementation. Collectively, these advances herald a paradigm shift toward proactive, patient-centred diagnostics, setting the stage for the future of healthcare.
