Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical techniques have emerged as powerful tools in modern bioanalysis, offering high sensitivity, rapid response, portability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional analytical methods. Their versatility has enabled significant advances in medicine and environmental monitoring, where the detection of clinically relevant biomarkers and hazardous pollutants is essential for improving human health and ensuring public safety.
This Special Issue, titled “Electrochemical Approaches in Bioanalysis: Translational Applications in Medicine and Environmental Monitoring”, aims to highlight cutting-edge developments in the design, fabrication, and application of electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Topics of interest include the integration of nanomaterials, biomimetic recognition elements (aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers), and novel electrode platforms (3D-printed, paper-based, microfluidic systems) to enhance sensitivity and selectivity. Contributions focusing on translational applications, from point-of-care diagnostics and real-time patient monitoring to the detection of contaminants, toxins, and emerging pollutants in complex environmental matrices, are particularly welcome.
By bringing together innovations in electrochemistry, materials science, and bioanalytical chemistry, this issue seeks to provide a multidisciplinary perspective on the next generation of electrochemical devices. Ultimately, the goal of this Special Issue is to bridge fundamental advances with practical applications, fostering technologies that can impact healthcare, environmental sustainability, and public security.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
