Welcome 

Luis Monteiro Rodrigues, MSc, PhD, Editor-in-chief

Be very welcome to our world of Biomedical Biopharmaceutical Research / Investigação Biomédica e Biofarmacêutica - an indexed journal of science, innovation and development, created and published in Portuguese and English. For more than twenty years, BBR | IBB has aimed to promote the progress of society by supporting the dissemination of health-related knowledge based on scientific evidence. Its current format - online and open access - is designed to accelerate knowledge transfer while expanding readership opportunities and engaging with our world at large.

At its inception, BBR | IBB was conceived as an instrument to support the development and growth of society among countries that share the Portuguese language and culture. We offered, and continue to offer, the opportunity to address issues specific to these communities, by their own observers. Even so, this journal has always been intentionally bilingual, with the intention of accurately sharing knowledge across common borders of communication. While we seek to promote research based in the Portuguese-speaking world, we are also a conduit for scientific knowledge from all over the world.

This evolution increases our responsibility and, therefore, our permanent attention to opportunities for improvement aimed at facilitating a transparent editorial process, guaranteeing equal opportunities, scientific fairness and ethical responsibility. We welcome contributions from young researchers as well as long-established research groups. What we can learn from each other by sharing our discoveries and explorations, ideas and innovations, can positively shape our shared world.

We are certain that readers, authors and publishers will continue to work together to strengthen this journal and our efforts on this path.
