Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmaceutical research plays a vital role in discovering, developing, and assessing new medications towards the enhancement of human health. This field encompasses a wide array of scientific aspects, ranging from the identification of potential drug candidates to conducting thorough tests to secure their safety and efficacy to patients. This research process is intricate, multidisciplinary, and typically time-consuming. In response to the high demand for practical and affordable analytical methods, biosensors are emerging as significant tools in this field, providing high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response time for the detection of specific targets. The use of these devices is becoming increasingly important in pharmaceutical and health care applications for monitoring biomarkers, disease diagnosis, and personalized medicine. The advances in biological techniques and instrumentation provide the ability to manufacture more precise and adaptive biosensors, covering important aspects of pharmaceutical research. Nanomaterials, peptides, molecule-printed polymers, aptamers, nucleotides and fluorescent tags can be incorporated to create a tremendous variety of innovative non-invasive biosensors and expand their valuable functions.
We invite contributions to our upcoming Special Issue regarding the Application of Biosensors in Pharmaceutical Research. We welcome submissions from reviews or research studies that highlight recent developments and innovative research.
We look forward to your valuable contribution!
