Welcome to the first edition of Nigerian Journal of Clinical and Biomedical Research (NJCBR) that I have compiled since taking over the reins as the Editor in Chief, on behalf of the new editorial team made of experienced researchers and academicians. This is an exciting time for us working on NJCBR, as over the next few years we will take the opportunity to re-engineer the journal, reorganize the format, content, and access to NJCBR to enable it function in a style that we hope befits modern thinking, research, technology and development.
