Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine environments harbor a rich diversity of life systems, including microorganisms, algae, invertebrates and fish, which are an untapped reservoir of bioactive compounds. The diversity of chemical structures found in these organisms has aroused great interest in various fields of research and biotechnology, such as medicine, pharmacology and cosmetic. Bioactive lipids present in marine sources are known for their potential benefits on human health and nutrition, which can be explored for the development of new product with different applications, such as functional foods, feeds and nutraceuticals, as well as in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors.
Recent advances in emerging omics approaches such as lipidomics have contributed to gathering more accurate lipid profiling information for understanding their biological roles and bioprospecting for biotechnological applications.
This Special Issue invites articles covering lipid profiling with a focus in lipidomics as a tool for the discovery and characterization of marine lipids for potential applications in blue biotechnology and bioeconomy.

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. Marine Drugs is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
