Indian Journal of Microbiology - Special Issue: Nanomaterials based Biosensors
Title : Nanomaterials based Biosensors
About the Issue: This special issue is focused on the development of nanomaterials based biosensing technique towards the detection of microorganisms or its associated diseases. Several efforts have been made in the field of biosensors and try to make it more convenient to the patients for its diagnosis. In this decade, Microfluidics, Nanofluidics, Internet of things (IoT), Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence make this biosensing field more patient friendly, economic with time saving approach. Keeping these in view, we are inviting all of you to submit your research finding, summarization of research output as Review, Expert opinion etc. and make this special issue more successful.
Opening Date: 15th October 2023
Closure Date: 31st March 2024
The special issue aims to contribute to SDG 3, SDG 6, SDG 9, SDG 14 and SDG 15.
