The Key Role of Molecular Diagnostics in Predictive, Preventive and Personalised (3P) Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

To successfully combat global epidemics of infectious and non-communicable disorders (cancer, stoke, diabetes, cardio-vascular disease, etc.), the paradigm change from reactive medicine to predictive approach, targeted prevention and treatments tailored to the patient is non-incremental in biomedical sciences and healthcare. This Special Issue “The Key Role of Molecular Diagnostics in Predictive, Preventive and Personalised (3P) Medicine” is dedicated to the research in biomedical sciences demonstrating high level of innovation towards concepts of 3P medicine. Science-to-technology breakthrough should address the vision of predictive medical approach. Methodology should consider application of minimally and non-invasive diagnostics such as liquid biopsy (blood, saliva and tear fluid, amongst others). Analytical tools include multiomics, circulating tumour cells, cell-free nucleic acids and computation technologies such as big data analysis, machine learning and application of artifical intelligence in medicine. Literature search and data interpretation in the context of 3P medicine are essential.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
