Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
This Special Issue, "Recent Advances in Lab-on-a-Chip and Their Biomedical Applications", serves as a platform to showcase the latest breakthroughs and innovations in the field of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology and its diverse applications in biomedicine. Lab-on-a-chip platforms have revolutionized medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and biomedical research by providing miniaturized, integrated systems that offer high precision and efficiency.
This Special Issue seeks to gather research papers and review articles focusing on the current state of LOC technology, from the development of microfluidic devices to their biomedical applications. It welcomes contributions from researchers and experts across various disciplines who are exploring the integration of LOC systems into medical diagnostics, point-of-care testing, and drug development. It also encompasses a wide range of topics, including microfabrication techniques, bioanalytical methods, biomarker detection, single-cell analysis, and the miniaturization of laboratory processes, and highlights the translation of LOC technologies into clinical practice and their role in improving patient care and outcomes.
By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the adoption of lab-on-a-chip platforms in biomedicine. We invite submissions that reflect the latest advancements and innovative applications contributing to the ongoing transformation of healthcare and the advancement of biomedical research.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
