Introduction

Biological sensors, commonly described within the broader field of biosensing, combine biological recognition mechanisms with physical or chemical transduction and signal-processing approaches. Such systems can support the detection or analysis of biological, chemical, or environmental targets and are relevant to areas including biomedical research, diagnostics, biotechnology, food analysis, and environmental monitoring.

The integration of molecular biology with sensing technologies has contributed to the development of analytical platforms that seek to improve target recognition, measurement, selectivity, and practical deployment. Research profiles associated with this area may therefore span interdisciplinary boundaries between molecular biology, biotechnology, analytical science, materials science, electronics, and sensor engineering.
