Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, with its mortality rate having increased in recent years. In addition, viral infections, such as COVID-19, influenza, HIV, Ebola, monkeypox virus, norovirus, chikungunya, etc., have become another threat to global health. Thus, it is crucial to develop rapid, accurate and cost-effective methods of early detection for cancer and viruses. With the rapid emergence of sensing techniques, a variety of sensors have been reported.
I would like to invite you to submit either original articles or review papers on sensors and methods for cancer biomarkers and virus detection. This Special Issue particularly welcomes but is not limited to topics listed in the following keywords:
- Cancer biomarker;
- Virus detection;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Spectroscopy;
- Antibody;
- Aptamer;
- DNA;
- RNA;
- Nanomaterials;
- Biosensors;
- Electrochemical sensors;
- Wireless biosensor;
- Healthcare;
- Lab-on-chip;
- Clinical analysis;
- Point-of-care;
- Cell phone-based sensors;
- Genetic testing;
- Liquid biopsy tests;
- Population science-based testing.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
