Dear Colleagues,

Several research groups are devoted to the dissemination of new and original knowledge in all fields of bioseparation sciences. In order to assemble these findings, a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Bioseparation Technologies for the Capture of Emerging Biomacromolecules” is being launched. This Special Issue aims to gather scientific full papers, short communications, and review articles covering novel separation and isolation methods based on chromatographic and nonchromatographic platforms, demonstrating a huge societal impact—for instance, advances in the purification of biomacromolecules or pathological factors using microdevices and advanced aqueous two-phase systems. Developments with interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome, and systems should be proven with suitable biological, therapeutic, or biotechnological challenging samples.

Presenting a very broad scope, this Special Issue welcomes but is not limited to the following technologies and emergent applications: molecular diagnostics, biosensors and bioengineering, drug development and pharmaceutical analysis, microfluidics and nanotechnology, omics analysis (such as proteomics, metabolomics or glycomics), food science, neuroscience, biochemical and forensic analysis, industrial processes, and method development.

This issue will serve as a collection of papers for academia or as a reference tool for researchers, including health and industry professionals, particularly those working in the fields of biotechnology, biomedicine, biology, chemistry, drug design, medicine, and pharmaceutical sciences.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
