Welcome 

Luís Monteiro Rodrigues, MSc, PhD, Editor-in-Chief

Welcome to the world of Biomedical and Biopharmaceutical Research (Investigação Biomédica e Biofarmacêutica ) and its publications on science, innovation and development, indexed and published in Portuguese and English:

BBR Pharmacology and Technology
BBR One Health and Wellbeing
BBR Physiology and Translational Medicine

For over twenty years, BBR | IBB has aimed to promote the progress of society by supporting the dissemination of evidence-based health-related knowledge. Its current format - online and open access - is designed to accelerate the transfer of knowledge while expanding opportunities for reading and engagement with the world at large.

In its genesis, 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 offer, and continue to offer, the opportunity to address specific issues in these communities, by their own observers. Even so, this journal has always been intentionally bilingual, with the intention of accurately sharing knowledge beyond the common boundaries of communication. While we seek to promote research based on the Portuguese-speaking world, we are also a vehicle for scientific knowledge from around the world.

This evolution increases our responsibility and, therefore, our constant attention to opportunities for improvement that aim to facilitate a transparent editorial process, ensuring equal opportunities, scientific equity 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 common world.

We are confident that readers, authors and editors will continue to work together to strengthen this journal and our efforts along this path.
