Abstract: The determination of biomedical markers and pathogens using electrochemical sensors is a well-established technique in which the transducer and the recognition element are used to detect the target molecule. There is a growing interest in molecularly imprinted polymer (MIPs) applications as promising recognition elements. The use of MIPs as recognition elements in electrochemical sensors offers the advantages of being fast, low cost, and, at the same time, provides accurate and selective results compared with other commonly applied routine methods for biomedical markers and pathogen detection. Compared with other nanomaterials and aptamer-based biosensors, MIP-based sensors offered excellent selectivity for low-priced reagents to be used. The aim of the current review is to discuss the most recent applications of MIP-based electrochemical sensors (2019-2021) as promising detection devices for some important biomarkers, enzymes, and pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and toxins
