Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To quote Alain Mérieux, chairman of Institut Mérieux, “Without diagnostics, medicine is blind”. We cannot get the appropriate treatment to the disease without knowing what the cause is. As this phrase implies, diagnostics are an essential part of healthcare at both individual and community levels. The highly sensitive, fast and cost-effective diagnostic systems can have far-reaching applications in medicine as well as environmental and food analysis. Many research efforts have been made to develop such platforms by bringing together diverse fields, including chemistry, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
In this Special Issue, we aim to explore recent advances in molecular diagnostic technologies that can revolutionize human well-being. We encourage the submission of papers in the following topics described by the keywords below, but also welcome works on related topics.
Dr. Ki Soo Park
Guest Editor
