Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precision pathology is rapidly evolving, integrating digital technologies with molecular diagnostics to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reproducibility, and personalized patient care. Initially rooted in traditional histopathology, the field has progressively embraced digital imaging, AI, and omics technologies, transforming workflows and enabling deeper insights into disease mechanisms.
This Special Issue aims to showcase interdisciplinary advances that bridge computational pathology, digital innovation, and molecular profiling, fostering a holistic approach to disease characterization and treatment planning. We intend to highlight pioneering studies in AI-assisted diagnostics, spatial transcriptomics, digital slide analysis, and integrative multi-omics, emphasizing translational applications and clinical impact. We welcome original research and reviews on digital pathology platforms, machine learning in diagnostics, biomarker discovery, and clinical implementation of precision tools.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
