Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in biophotonic sensing, particularly those enabled by organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) and artificial intelligence (AI). By combining the unique properties of OTFTs with the power of AI, we can develop innovative sensing solutions for a wide range of applications, from healthcare to environmental monitoring.
Biophotonic sensing, at the intersection of photonics and biology, has seen rapid advancements in recent years. This Special Issue seeks to explore the cutting-edge developments in intelligent biophotonic sensing, with a particular focus on the synergy between organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) and artificial intelligence (AI).
We invite high-quality original research papers on the following topics:
- OTFT-Based Biophotonic Sensors:
- Design and optimization of OTFT materials and device structures;
- Applications of OTFTs in biomolecular detection;
- Integration of OTFTs with optical sensors.
- AI in Biophotonic Sensing:
- Machine learning and deep learning models;
- Data analysis and pattern recognition;
- Design and implementation of intelligent sensing systems.
- Applications of Intelligent Biophotonic Sensing:
- Early disease diagnosis;
- Biomarker detection;
- Drug delivery monitoring;
- Tissue engineering;
- Environmental monitoring: water quality, food safety, and pollutant detection.
We believe that this Special Issue will attract high-quality submissions from leading researchers in the field and contribute significantly to advancements in biophotonic sensing technology.

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. Sensors 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 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.
