Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical sensors and biosensors have revolutionized the detection of molecular biomarkers and the analysis of biomolecular interactions, offering unparalleled sensitivity, specificity, and versatility. These technologies are central to advancing precision medicine, providing tools for early disease diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and the study of complex biological processes. By enabling real-time, label-free, and cost-effective detection, electrochemical platforms have become indispensable in both clinical and research settings.
Recent advances in nanomaterials have further enhanced the performance of electrochemical sensing platforms, offering new possibilities for improving their sensitivity, selectivity, and functionality. Nanomaterials, with their unique properties such as a high surface area, tunable surface chemistry, and nanoscale dimensions, have significantly broadened the scope of electrochemical sensors and biosensors, enabling more efficient and innovative solutions for biomarker detection and biomolecular interaction analysis.
This Special Issue, "Advances in Electrochemical Sensors for Biomarker Detection, Biomolecular Interaction Analysis and Nanomaterial-Enhanced Sensing Platforms", seeks to explore the latest developments and applications of electrochemical sensors, with a particular emphasis on the role of nanomaterials in advancing these technologies. It aims to showcase cutting-edge innovations that enhance the capabilities of electrochemical devices, focusing on novel (bio)sensing strategies, nanomaterial-based platforms, and emerging applications.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
– The development of novel electrochemical sensing materials and nanomaterial-based architectures with potential applications in electrochemical biomarker detection.
– The integration of sensors with microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip platforms for high-throughput analysis.
– Electrochemical approaches for real-time and quantitative analysis of biomolecular interactions, including protein–ligand, DNA–protein, and receptor-target studies.
– Applications in disease biomarker detection, drug discovery, and environmental and food monitoring, leveraging the unique properties of nanomaterials.
– Emerging trends in wearable and implantable electrochemical biosensors, including ones that are enhanced using nanomaterials.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and perspectives that address current challenges and future opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of nanomaterial-enhanced electrochemical sensing platforms.
