Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the recent advancements in nanophotonics and biophotonics and their different applications, including biological and biomedical research applications. We plan to cover various optical/photonics techniques, such as spectroscopy, microscopy, Raman, and FTIR, probing abnormalities in cells and tissues, ranging from cancer to brain diseases. Additionally, we are interested in topics in nanophononics, including plasmonics, nearfield optical microscopy, nano-lasers, nano-biophotonics, etc., and their applications to molecular biological/molecular biomedical research.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit original research articles on optical/photonics techniques, nanophononics, and nanophotonics, or reviews on the last developments in these fields. IJMS is a molecular journal and we hope that your paper contains as much molecular content as possible.
Dr. Prabhakar Pradhan

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-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.
