Advanced Technologies for Drug Delivery, Pathogen Detection and Diagnostics

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a call for submissions to a Topic of “Advanced Technologies for Drug Delivery, Pathogen Detection and Diagnostics”. The global pandemic has drawn increasing research attention on the development of advanced tools and technologies for molecular detection of pathogenic microorganisms, rapid diagnosis, and efficient drug delivery systems on infectious diseases. Close collaboration from researchers with expertise on chemical engineering, material technology, nanotechnology, pharmacology, molecular biology, immunology, and bioinformatics is highly desired. Taking this opportunity of organizing a topic collection, we would like to highlight innovative researches in related areas, in the scope from novel drug delivery systems for pathogenic microorganisms, nanovaccine development, host-pathogen interactions, evasion of RNA virus from innate immunity, to rapid, affordable and sensitive methods for pathogen detection and quantification. Your article can be written to focus on a specific research topic (Article format) by you and your group, or alternatively it can be written in the style of a Review of relevance to the community. We hope that this special collection would serve as an international platform for further interdisciplinary research discussion and cooperation, promoting the development of interdisciplinary research fields.
