Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global mpox (formerly monkeypox) outbreaks during 2022–2023 highlighted the critical role of personalized approaches in infectious disease control. Originally identified in Central Africa, mpox has expanded globally, with recent outbreaks in Western countries swiftly contained through targeted vaccination, risk-based interventions, and individualized public health strategies.
This Special Issue invites research focused on mpox within the framework of personalized medicine. Topics of interest include the following: omics-based studies of disease susceptibility and therapeutic response; biomarker discovery; pharmacogenomics of vaccine and antiviral responses; and applications of bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. We also encourage submissions on novel therapeutics and molecular diagnostics tailored to individual risk profiles.
Importantly, the ethical and regulatory dimensions of personalized medicine in endemic and outbreak responses—including equitable access, data governance, and privacy—will be critical areas of discussion. Personalized interventions for special populations, such as pediatric or immunocompromised individuals, are especially welcome to understand how personalized medicine approach impact these populations.
Through integrating omics technologies, personalized therapeutics, and responsible public health frameworks, this Special Issue aims to advance mpox management as a model for future emerging infections.
We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. David Jesse Sanchez

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.
