Diagnostic Applications of Nuclear-Magnetic-Resonance-Based Metabolomics

Dear Colleagues,

The interest in metabolomics, a more recent addition to the omics family, has been growing steadily in recent years. This is primarily due to two reasons: the interest in personalized medicine and the development of advanced data analysis techniques capable of extracting relevant and useful information from large and complex spectral data. Although the two major analytical platforms that are used for metabolomics studies are mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, the focus of this Special Issue will be on the latter. Furthermore, while metabolomics applications have included areas such as toxicology and food science, this Special Issue will be devoted only to applications that have diagnostics purposes, in line with the journal’s scope.

We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts on NMR-based metabolomics containing work related to diagnostic applications. This includes research involving cultured cells, body fluids, tissue specimens/biopsies and their extracts, and in vivo studies on animal models and human subjects with no restriction on the type of disease addressed. The manuscripts may be original research or review articles.

Dr. Tedros Bezabeh

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. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
