Dear readers of the Hacettepe Journal of Biology and Chemistry,

As I begin my fourth year as a Chief Editor of Hacettepe Journal of Biology and Chemistry, it is a great pleasure to greet our readers in this journal once again and to update you on what has happened in three years.

We have published 108 articles in Hacettepe Journal of Biology and Chemistry between 2007 and 2009 with an increasing number of submissions. The contributors were from 35 different national universities, different governmental and special foundations and we also had 8 manuscript submissions from Italy, Sweden, India, Lebanon and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. We would like to thank all the authors for choosing our journal as a media for sharing their valuable scientific results.

With these words I welcome you to the 1st issue of the year 2010 and I would like to invite you to submit your next manuscript to Hacettepe Journal of Biology and Chemistry.
