Journal overview

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics [ISSN 1473-7159]; [e-ISSN 1744-8352] is a MEDLINE-indexed, international subscription-based journal publishing rigorously peer-reviewed review articles and original papers in molecular diagnostics. The journal covers the detection and monitoring of the molecular causes of disease that are being translated into ground-breaking diagnostic and prognostic technologies to be used in the clinical diagnostic setting.

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics provides a forum for reporting the critical advances being made in this ever-expanding field, as well as the major challenges ahead in their clinical implementation. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats: invaluable to a time-constrained community.

Articles focus on the following key areas:

  • Contemporary genetic and genomic technologies including deep sequencing and genome-wide association studies.
  • Molecular tools for infectious disease testing and detection of multiple resistant bacteria.
  • Latest discoveries in oncology diagnostics.
  • Progress in non-invasive prenatal testing, including molecular markers and ethical considerations.
  • 'Omic’ diagnostic technologies including: pharmacogenomic, epigenomic, proteomic and metabolomic technologies.
  • Disease predisposition and inherited genetic diseases testing.
  • Diagnostic tests for point-of-care settings and for resource-limited settings as well as progress in developing handheld devices for molecular diagnostic tests.
  • Progress in developing handheld devices for molecular diagnostic tests.
  • Biomarker development and usage to target patient groups for personalized medicine.
  • Tools for molecular prognosis.
  • Novel technologies and developments in molecular diagnostic techniques.
  • Regulatory, ethical and payor perspectives in molecular diagnostics.

Each issue of Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics contains:

  • Reviews on current and emerging topics relating to molecular diagnostics.
  • Editorials discussing contentious issues in the field.
  • Diagnostic profiles featuring independent, expert evaluations of diagnostic tests.
  • Original Research - manuscripts detailing clinical studies with a presentation of previously unpublished data.

Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:

Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results;

Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.

Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the Editorial Team, it will then be double-anonymous peer-reviewed by independent, expert referees.
